Kalshi Adds Solana Support for Faster Crypto Deposits in Regulated Prediction Market

Prediction market platform Kalshi has expanded its crypto payment options by adding support for Solana (SOL), giving users a faster and more flexible way to fund their accounts. The announcement was made Friday on Kalshi’s official X (formerly Twitter) account.

Solana becomes the fourth cryptocurrency accepted on the platform, joining Bitcoin (BTC), USD Coin (USDC), and Worldcoin's WLD token. The integration allows users to deposit directly from Solana-compatible wallets, part of a broader effort by Kalshi to streamline access and lower barriers for market participants.

Kalshi, which is regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), offers a unique twist on trading by allowing users to speculate on real-world outcomes—from elections and economic data to sports and current events. With this latest update, users can now fund their accounts via Solana with deposits processed through Zero Hash, a leading crypto infrastructure provider.

While Kalshi also supports traditional deposit methods like debit cards, bank transfers, and wires, the platform highlights several advantages to using crypto. Most notably, crypto deposits are processed instantly and come with a higher funding limit—up to $500,000—compared to conventional methods.

“Depositing with crypto on Kalshi allows for immediate access to your funds, enabling you to participate in trades without any delay that usually occurs with traditional banking methods,” the company noted on its website.

The move follows a strategic partnership between Kalshi and Robinhood, which brought Kalshi’s prediction market to Robinhood Derivatives earlier this year. The collaboration aims to broaden access to predictive trading within regulated U.S. markets.
