Kalshi Launches Tokenized Event Bets on Solana Blockchain: CNBC

What to know:

  • Kalshi has begun supporting tokenized versions of its event-contract wagers on Solana, the company told CNBC.
  • The move mirrors features popularized by crypto-native prediction platform Polymarket and is designed to appeal to on-chain traders.
  • The company said tapping crypto liquidity could help scale its markets as prediction-market volume surges.

Kalshi is now offering tokenized versions of its event-contract wagers on Solana, the company told CNBC, marking its clearest bid yet to attract crypto traders who have gravitated to on-chain platforms like Polymarket.

The setup tokenizes Kalshi’s existing event markets, spanning politics to macro data, and makes them tradable on Solana, according to the Monday report.

Tokenized contracts work the same as Kalshi’s traditional products, but on-chain trading adds anonymity and aligns the exchange more closely with Polymarket’s model, the report said.

Tokenization is the process by which real-world assets are converted into blockchain-based tokens.

Support is already live, according to CNBC, with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols DFlow and Jupiter connecting Kalshi’s off-chain order book to Solana liquidity.

Kalshi’s head of crypto, John Wang, told CNBC the move is designed to tap deeper pools of capital as prediction-market activity accelerates.

Tokenization gives Kalshi access to “billions of dollars of liquidity,” lets developers build third-party front ends, and helps maintain competitive pricing, Wang said.

Founded in 2018, Kalshi became the first exchange to offer federally regulated event contracts tied to U.S. congressional races in 2024 after a protracted fight with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the report noted.

The firm now runs about 3,500 markets and closed a $1 billion funding round last month that valued the company at $11 billion, according to a TechCrunch report.

As Polymarket presses into the U.S., CNBC noted Kalshi will need more liquidity to keep pace, something crypto-native traders may be uniquely equipped to provide.

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?

The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple? In 2013, DOGE turned a meme into money and a loose forum into a movement. A decade on, the nonstop momentum has cooled; the backdrop is different, and the market is far more selective. With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s. Source: CoinMarketcap / TradingView Beyond the dogecoin price prediction, DOGE still centers on payments and lacks native smart contracts; ZK-proof verification is proposed,…
