Prediction market Kalshi is supporting trading of tokenized prediction contracts based on Solana (SOL), accelerating competition in the on-chain prediction market.

On the 1st (local time), CNBC reported that Kalshi has tokenized its prediction contract products to enable real-time trading on the Solana blockchain. Through this, existing Kalshi platform users can transfer all prediction contracts on-chain or trade them immediately on secondary markets.

Kalshi explained, "Through Solana-based trading, we have secured accessibility and anonymity, and will provide a user experience significantly improved compared to before in terms of trading speed and cost." The industry views this move as a signal that it is formally challenging Polymarket, which has led the on-chain prediction market.

Meanwhile, Kalshi is accelerating its market share expansion by attracting investment from large venture capital firms along with a recent sharp increase in users.
