What to know:
- Kalshi has begun supporting tokenized versions of its event-contract wagers on Solana, the company told CNBC.
- The move mirrors features popularized by crypto-native prediction platform Polymarket and is designed to appeal to on-chain traders.
- The company said tapping crypto liquidity could help scale its markets as prediction-market volume surges.
Kalshi is now offering tokenized versions of its event-contract wagers on Solana, the company told CNBC, marking its clearest bid yet to attract crypto traders who have gravitated to on-chain platforms like Polymarket.
The setup tokenizes Kalshi’s existing event markets, spanning politics to macro data, and makes them tradable on Solana, according to the Monday report.

Tokenized contracts work the same as Kalshi’s traditional products, but on-chain trading adds anonymity and aligns the exchange more closely with Polymarket’s model, the report said.
Tokenization is the process by which real-world assets are converted into blockchain-based tokens.
Support is already live, according to CNBC, with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols DFlow and Jupiter connecting Kalshi’s off-chain order book to Solana liquidity.
Kalshi’s head of crypto, John Wang, told CNBC the move is designed to tap deeper pools of capital as prediction-market activity accelerates.
Tokenization gives Kalshi access to “billions of dollars of liquidity,” lets developers build third-party front ends, and helps maintain competitive pricing, Wang said.
Founded in 2018, Kalshi became the first exchange to offer federally regulated event contracts tied to U.S. congressional races in 2024 after a protracted fight with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the report noted.
The firm now runs about 3,500 markets and closed a $1 billion funding round last month that valued the company at $11 billion, according to a TechCrunch report.
As Polymarket presses into the U.S., CNBC noted Kalshi will need more liquidity to keep pace, something crypto-native traders may be uniquely equipped to provide.

Water150 Unveils Historical Satra Brunn Well: The Original Source of 150 Years of Premium Quality Spring Water Hydration
The post Water150 Unveils Historical Satra Brunn Well: The Original Source of 150 Years of Premium Quality Spring Water Hydration appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Water150, the project developed by the Longhouse Foundation to reserve access to premium spring water through a transparent, blockchain-based ecosystem of natural water springs, is excited to introduce its first natural water well, Satra Brunn. The Sätra Brunn well is one of Sweden’s oldest and best-preserved natural spring water wells, located in a 324-year-old Swedish village. Every water source added to the network will be measured according to the pedigree and based on the foundations of the historically reliable Satra Brunn natural spring, a well that has endured since the 18th century. The Satra Brunn well secures the first 66 million liters of the annually replenished mineral water supply, starting in January 2027, for the next 150 years. Each liter of water secured in the Satra Brunn well is fully backed by a corresponding Water150 token, issued on the Ethereum blockchain by the Longhouse Water S.A., a Luxembourg public limited liability company. Hence, the first batch of 66 million Water150 tokens to enter circulation will fully back the annual supply from the Satra Brunn well. The project uses blockchain technology as a barrierless and transparent ecosystem to connect users to naturally filtered, high-quality, and sustainably managed drinking water per year for at least 150 years, starting in 2027. The amount of Water150 tokens in circulation is a verifiable measure of the volume of annual water flow available within the ecosystem, audited by independent third parties. The W150 token is one of the first real-world asset (RWA) utility tokens to get the full approval of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the body responsible for the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR), a cryptocurrency regulatory standard recognized and adopted throughout Europe. Water150 is building a global network of 1,000 premium mineral water sources like Satra Brunn, managed according to the high…
