Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated prediction market platform, has integrated BNB Smart Chain (BSC) to support deposits and withdrawals using BNB and certain stablecoins. For U.S. domestic accounts, direct deposits and withdrawals of native BNB and USDT on BSC are available. For international accounts, deposits and withdrawals of BNB, USDT, and USDC on BSC are available, often facilitated through connected exchanges like Binance or Coinbase. This integration allows users holding assets on BSC to participate in Kalshi’s prediction markets on events such as politics, sports, and crypto prices without needing complex bridging or conversions, leveraging BSC’s low fees and high speed.
This move enhances liquidity for Kalshi users in the BNB ecosystem and positions BSC as a key rail for regulated prediction trading. Kalshi’s addition of BSC support for deposits and withdrawals marks a significant step in bridging regulated prediction markets with major crypto ecosystems. Users holding assets on BSC—one of the largest blockchains by user base, TVL around $6.5B, and stablecoin volume—can now seamlessly fund Kalshi accounts without bridging, conversions, or high fees from chains like Ethereum.
U.S. accounts: Direct native BNB and USDT (BSC) deposits and withdrawals. International accounts: BNB, USDT, and USDC via connected exchanges (e.g., Binance, Coinbase). This reduces friction, potentially attracting millions of BSC-native users from DeFi, gaming, or the Binance ecosystem to Kalshi’s CFTC-regulated markets on politics, sports, and crypto prices.
