Kalshi surges to 62% of global prediction market share

Kalshi surges to 62% of global prediction market share

The post Kalshi surges to 62% of global prediction market share appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The prediction platform Kalshi announced that its share of the global prediction market has soared to 62.2%, a huge leap from last year’s 3.1%. The company, however, still operates exclusively in the U.S. market. According to the Block Data Dashboard, the company has already seen $1.3 billion in monthly trading volume, outpacing rival Polymarket, which stands at $773 million. The last time the prediction platform saw monthly volume topping $1 billion was in November 2024, amid U.S. elections. Kalshi is currently facing state lawsuits Kalshi now takes roughly two-thirds of the global prediction market volume, with 37% going to Polymarket and whatever is left picked up by Limitless and Myriad. Its trading particularly grew in August, partly driven by the NFL season kickoff and its enhanced focus on sports markets. Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour, in his statement on the platform’s market share, said, “It’s remarkable to see how fast the platform is growing.” Still, it faces multiple lawsuits accusing it of operating as an unregistered sports betting platform. Authorities in Maryland, Nevada, and New Jersey have all ordered it to stop operations, arguing its markets qualify as sports betting. The cases are now in federal court, with early rulings issued, but final judgments are still pending. Massachusetts took an even tougher stance last week, suing the platform and branding its sports contracts illegal and unsafe sports wagering. The state’s 43-page filing asks the court to block local users from participating, similar to the limitations imposed on Coinbase’s staking programs in some states. Andrea Campbell, the state’s attorney general, claimed that the prediction platform effectively runs a sportsbook without following the licensing and regulatory framework required in Massachusetts. Kalshi, however, pushed back on the allegations, stating, “Kalshi offers its users a fair, transparent, federally-regulated, and nationwide marketplace. Rather than engage in…

Stellar (XLM) Network Enhances USDC Transfers with Circle’s CCTP V2 Integration

Stellar (XLM) Network Enhances USDC Transfers with Circle’s CCTP V2 Integration

The post Stellar (XLM) Network Enhances USDC Transfers with Circle’s CCTP V2 Integration appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tony Kim Sep 18, 2025 12:45 Stellar (XLM) integrates Circle’s CCTP V2, enhancing USDC transfers and interoperability across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana, while boosting liquidity and cross-chain functionality. Stellar (XLM) is set to enhance its network capabilities with the integration of Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) V2. This significant update will optimize USDC transfers across the Stellar network, which already supports natively issued USDC, according to Stellar. Enhanced Interoperability The upgrade allows users to seamlessly transfer USDC across Stellar and 15 other blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Base. This development aims to improve interoperability and unlock new use cases within the Stellar ecosystem. Wallets, decentralized applications (dApps), and services utilizing USDC will now have enhanced interaction capabilities with Stellar. Key Features of CCTP V2 CCTP V2 introduces several advantages, notably native interoperability, which makes USDC on Stellar compatible across all CCTP V2-enabled blockchains. Historically, users faced challenges in moving USDC between different chains due to limited liquidity and the need for third-party services or Circle accounts. The integration of CCTP V2 into Stellar connects it to the broader USDC ecosystem, offering deeper liquidity and dynamic management tools for efficient multi-chain operations. Additionally, CCTP V2 provides programmability for developers, allowing them to embed cross-chain transfers directly into their dApps. This enables seamless liquidity movement between chains and the inclusion of metadata for autonomous execution on destination chains via Hooks. Developers can capitalize on Stellar’s fast, cost-effective payments and robust off-ramping capabilities without the need for separate integrations or liquidity strategies. Efficient Liquidity Management The protocol eliminates the necessity for wrapped assets and custodial bridges when transferring USDC across supported chains. CCTP V2 facilitates native USDC burning and minting for cross-chain transfers, settling transactions in seconds, thus reducing bridge risk and enhancing…

CCTP V2 on Stellar: Native USDC

CCTP V2 on Stellar: Native USDC

The post CCTP V2 on Stellar: Native USDC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Circle has extended the Cross‑Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) on Stellar, enabling native and direct transfers of USDC across more than 15 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Base (CryptoNews). In this context, the burn‑and‑mint 1:1 mechanism eliminates the need for external bridges, ensuring faster settlements and verifiable compliance rules throughout the entire transfer process. For technical details and a list of supported chains, refer to Circle’s official documentation: Circle – Multi‑chain USDC on Stellar. According to data collected from public on-chain monitoring and integration reports updated in 2025, the average latencies observed on fast-finality networks consistently result in being under 60 seconds. Industry analysts also note that the elimination of wrapped tokens simplifies reconciliation and audit, measurably reducing operational complexities for exchanges and wallets. In Brief USDC transferable between Stellar and over 15 blockchains (e.g., Ethereum, Solana, Base) for native cross-chain movements. Mechanism of burn at the source / mint at the destination without wrapped token (Circle Developers). Typical times: from seconds to a few minutes, depending on the purpose of the chain (CryptoNews). Benefits for DEX/CEX, wallets, and dApps; fiat access thanks to the MoneyGram network with over 475,000 physical locations (Circle). What changes with the integration on Stellar With CCTP V2, USDC is transferred natively between Stellar and other networks, without resorting to the creation of “wrapped” assets. The transfer operation occurs through the burning of USDC on the origin chain and the subsequent minting of the equivalent on the destination, maintaining the 1:1 parity. In fact, this process significantly reduces the counterparty risks typical of custodial bridges and simplifies liquidity management between ecosystems. The updated list of supported blockchains is available in Circle’s official documentation and provides an accurate overview of effective interoperability. How it works: burn/mint and attestations The protocol sends a burn request on the source…
