Kalshi has just hired a Head of Crypto. When will they launch a platform that allows you to place trades via crypto?

  • Update 2025-08-25 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Crypto deposits alone do not count.

    • A qualifying launch must use crypto for trade settlement (not just for funding accounts).

@SG I think this market can resolve. Kalshi launched tokenized event contracts on Solana on December 1, 2025, which use crypto for trade settlement, not just deposits
- Kalshi contracts are tokenized as SPL tokens on Solana via DFlow and Jupiter

- Trades are executed and settled on-chain in USDC

- Winning tokens are redeemed in stablecoins

- This is crypto trade settlement, not just funding an account with crypto


Look at this market for example: https://jup.ag/prediction/POLY-34051
It was also announced on kalshi's newsroom: https://news.kalshi.com/p/kalshi-solana-tokenized-predictions


You can deposit crypto, does that count?

@nikki No, this functionality has existed for a while.

@SG What is a crypto platform then?

@nikki Something that uses crypto for trade settlement or something like that.
