Key Takeaways
- Phantom has introduced prediction markets that leverage any Solana token in user wallets.
- The new feature is powered by Kalshi and accessible directly via the Phantom wallet.
Phantom has begun rolling out in-app access to prediction markets through a new integration with Kalshi, the regulated event trading platform.
The feature allows Phantom users to speculate on real-world outcomes like sports, politics, and crypto events directly from their wallet interface, without needing to create a separate account or transfer funds to another platform.
Announced on December 11, the partnership introduces a seamless way to trade real-money Yes or No positions on hundreds of markets. Users can fund trades using tokens already in their Phantom wallets, including CASH, and don’t need to navigate complex order books or external platforms.
The feature includes built-in live chat for each market, enabling users to discuss trades and monitor sentiment in real time. Market details, prices, and updates are displayed natively, and Phantom notifies users when results are in or claims are available.
The rollout expands the use case of crypto wallets beyond asset storage and DeFi, making Phantom one of the first wallets to offer direct access to regulated event markets in the US.
