- Phantom wallet has integrated Kalshi‘s prediction markets, enabling over 20 million users to trade on various trending topics within the app.
- The integration allows trading on politics, sports, culture, and crypto using Solana tokens or Phantom’s CASH stablecoin without needing separate accounts.
- Social features include live community chat and real-time market updates for a seamless trading experience.
- This development is part of a wider trend of embedding prediction markets in crypto wallets and media platforms.
On Friday, Phantom, a cryptocurrency wallet with more than 20 million users, announced it has integrated Kalshi‘s regulated prediction markets into its app. This partnership lets users trade on current events related to politics, crypto, sports, and culture directly within the wallet.
Users can buy tokenized positions linked to Kalshi’s markets using Solana tokens or Phantom’s CASH stablecoin. This setup removes the need for additional deposits or new account setups. The app offers real-time pricing, odds updates, and notifications when markets close.
A notable feature is the inclusion of a live community chat for each market. This lets users share insights and see sentiment changes as odds fluctuate. The chat complements Phantom’s existing financial tools, making prediction market trading straightforward, similar to token swapping.
Brandon Millman, CEO of Phantom, said, “We built Phantom to make crypto feel intuitive for everyone, and now we are bringing that same simplicity to prediction markets.” He emphasized that users can trade interest areas in real time alongside other financial activities in the same community.
This integration continues a recent pattern where prediction markets are incorporated directly into wallets used for crypto holdings. Rival platforms like Polymarket recently integrated with MetaMask, the Ethereum-focused wallet from ConsenSys. Additionally, Myriad, a prediction platform linked to Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, is embedded within Trust Wallet.
Outside wallets, prediction markets are also expanding into media and sports sectors. Networks like CNN and CNBC have partnerships with Kalshi, the UFC collaborates with Polymarket, and the NHL has licensed both platforms for its events.
