Kalshi, the US-based regulated prediction marketplace, recently dispelled rumors about enabling Solana (SOL) deposits. Despite earlier reports suggesting Kalshi added SOL as a funding option alongside USDC and Bitcoin, the company clarified that deposits remain restricted to USDC only, reaffirming its commitment to regulatory compliance.
Initially, Kalshi had accepted only Circle-issued USDC stablecoin deposits but rumors circulated about broadening crypto options, including Solana. However, Kalshi’s official communication, including statements from CEO Tarek Mansour, confirmed no such changes have occurred. The company focuses on maintaining a clear and compliant deposit policy, collaborating with partners like Zero Hash to process USDC deposits securely and legally.
Kalshi operates as a regulated platform available across all 50 US states, offering prediction markets on politics, sports, weather, and cryptocurrencies. It remains competitive against platforms like Polymarket by providing a streamlined user experience with fastest transactions via supported deposit methods including bank transfers, debit cards, wire deposits, and USDC.
The company has recently partnered with World App, enabling users to fund accounts with Worldcoin (WLD) tokens, but this also does not extend to Solana. The clarification reduces any market uncertainty regarding SOL’s role on the platform.
In summary, Kalshi maintains its existing deposit ecosystem centered on USDC without accepting Solana at this time, emphasizing regulatory clarity and technical consistency for its users.
