Kalshi, a prediction marketplace, has recently begun accepting Bitcoin deposits to attract more users from the crypto community. The company, known for allowing users to bet on various events like election outcomes and movie ratings, has gained popularity among crypto traders. One of their most popular event contracts involves betting on Bitcoin's hourly price changes, with a total trading volume of $143 million so far. Kalshi, a derivatives exchange regulated by the US CFTC, offers around 50 crypto-related event contracts, including markets for predicting coin highs and lows in 2025. The platform started accepting crypto payments last October, initially with stablecoin USDC deposits, and relies on ZeroHash for converting BTC and USDC deposits into US dollars.
