Kalshi, a prediction marketplace based in the United States, has expanded its crypto support with the addition of Solana deposits.<\/p>\n
The marketplace announced it had enabled Solana (SOL) as a new account funding option on Friday, May 23, with this shared an update the Kalshi team posted<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n SOL coming to the regulated prediction marketplace sees the altcoin join USDC (USDC) and Bitcoin (BTC) as deposit methods. Users can also fund accounts with Worldcoin (WLD). Initially, Kalshi only accepted the Circle-issued stablecoin as its crypto deposit option.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kalshi will now look to tap into Solana\u2019s traction to attract more crypto users to its platform, increasing its competition with Polymarket.\u00a0<\/p>\n While Kalshi\u2019s other deposit methods include bank transfer, debit card and wire deposits, crypto has quickly caught on. Benefits such as fast transactions when funding accounts and higher deposit limits are attractive to crypto-natives.<\/p>\n On Kalshi, users can trade on any prediction, from politics, sports, weather and crypto. The platform\u2019s service is available across all 50 U.S. states.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On both Polymarket and Kalshi, crypto price forecasts are among many popular markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cKalshi offers a variety of cryptocurrency price markets that allow users to trade contracts based on the price movements of a cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum,\u201d the platform states on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
