Phantom Launches Prediction Markets in Partnership With Kalshi as Platform Activity Surges

@Phantom has officially unveiled a major new partnership with @Kalshi, marking one of the most significant expansions of Phantom’s product lineup to date.

The integration will introduce Phantom Prediction Markets, a feature powered directly by Kalshi’s regulated event-trading infrastructure.

The rollout begins this week, giving eligible Phantom users the ability to engage with real-world events shaping politics, crypto, sports, and culture. Users can explore markets, monitor shifting odds in real time, and trade on outcomes through an interface embedded directly inside the Phantom wallet.

The announcement was shared by Kalshi, confirming Phantom’s tweet as one of the first major crypto wallets to offer native access to regulated prediction markets.

A Wallet Turning Into a Real-Time Betting Terminal

The new feature is designed to blur the line between traditional prediction markets and everyday crypto tools. Instead of navigating to external platforms or DEX interfaces, Phantom users will soon place event-based trades inside the same wallet they already use to manage their crypto assets.

The experience is intentionally streamlined. Users will be able to:

•  Browse active and upcoming markets
•  Check live odds that adjust as new information comes in
•  Allocate funds to specific predictions
•  Track outcomes and positions in real time

This expansion turns Phantom from a standard Solana wallet into a broader engagement platform , one where blockchain users can participate directly in real-world event markets without leaving the app.

Prediction markets will go live for eligible users in the coming week. Compliance restrictions still apply, meaning availability will vary by jurisdiction.

User Protections and Regulatory Disclaimers

Phantom made clear that prediction markets come with risks, and the update emphasizes this repeatedly. Markets may involve:

•  Volatile pricing due to real-time shifts in sentiment
•  Liquidity constraints, especially around niche or fast-moving events
•  Regulatory changes, which may impact availability or future access

Users may also incur transaction fees and additional costs. And if a prediction is wrong, the entire amount allocated to the trade may be lost.

The team reiterated that references to third-party services inside Phantom are purely informational and don’t imply partnership beyond the product integration. The design mirrors standard compliance language used across regulated markets, a necessary step given Kalshi’s status as a CFTC-regulated exchange.

Kalshi’s Growth Aligns With Phantom’s Expansion

Phantom’s timing aligns with a period of accelerating growth for Kalshi. According to on-chain analytics shared by WhaleInsider, Kalshi has now surpassed 21 billion cumulative contracts traded, a milestone signaling explosive adoption across prediction markets.

The data was highlighted, which shows steady upticks in liquidity, user participation, and overall event-based volume.

Kalshi’s rapid expansion strengthens the strategic logic of the Phantom partnership. As a regulated event-trading venue that operates similarly to a derivatives exchange, Kalshi brings institutional structure to a sector previously dominated by informal or unregulated platforms.

With Phantom serving millions of users across the Solana ecosystem, the integration creates a direct on-ramp from Web3 to real-world event markets, potentially the most frictionless such pipeline available today.

A Turning Point for On-Chain Engagement

The move positions Phantom at the center of a broader trend: the convergence of crypto interfaces with everyday financial and cultural activity. Just as Coinbase has begun integrating DEX trading into its main app, and Solana wallets already support everything from NFTs to memecoins, Phantom is pushing into another category entirely, real-world predictions as a native wallet experience.

The implications extend far beyond simple trading. Prediction markets are often used as:

•  Sentiment indicators around elections, policy shifts, and macro events
•  Crowd-driven forecasting tools for tech, markets, and sports
•  Liquidity hubs for niche communities around cultural or crypto-specific events

By embedding these functionalities into Phantom, prediction markets may become a far more visible part of the crypto experience. It also gives Solana’s ecosystem another use case that supports continuous engagement, not just episodic trading.

Phantom’s leadership noted that the feature will evolve, with additional market categories, interface improvements, and advanced tools expected over time. The team plans to monitor user behavior closely during the first weeks of rollout.

What Comes Next for Phantom and Kalshi

For Kalshi, the Phantom integration represents one of the largest potential user funnels in the company’s history. With Phantom’s footprint across crypto communities , including traders, builders, and NFT holders , the platform could see a new wave of growth beyond the traditional prediction-market demographic.

For Phantom, the partnership marks another step toward becoming a multi-function financial hub rather than a simple wallet. The team has already expanded into transaction simulations, staking tools, cross-chain swaps, and portfolio analytics. Prediction markets take the product a step further into real-time financial engagement.

The launch also reflects a bigger shift in crypto product design: the idea that wallets can evolve into “superapps,” merging DeFi tools, analytics, off-chain financial instruments, and cultural experiences in one place.

Kalshi’s continued growth , now well past $21B in cumulative trading volume, as highlighted again in this WhaleInsider update, adds credibility to the strategy. Phantom’s integration supplies the distribution.

Over the coming weeks, eligible users will see the new interface and early markets populate inside their app. As both platforms continue expanding, prediction markets may become one of the most trafficked features on Phantom over time.
