These markets track whether BNB/USDT will close higher than or equal to its opening price during a specific 1-hour candle on April 12, 2026 at 5 PM ET. Polymarket uses Binance's 1H candle close vs. open comparison, while Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks' 60-second average price at the exact timestamp across 28 discrete price bands.
Polymarket and Kalshi use different resolution mechanics (directional vs. price-band) and different data sources (Binance 1H candle vs. CF Benchmarks 60-second average). The markets are not logically equivalent and may resolve differently.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as two separate markets with different payoff structures. Polymarket pays on direction (Up/Down); Kalshi pays on price level (Yes if in any band). A Binance 1H candle that closes up could still resolve No on Kalshi if the CF Benchmarks average lands outside all 28 bands (unlikely but possible). Cross-platform arbitrage requires careful price reconciliation.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Binary directional market. Resolves Up if BNB/USDT 1H candle close >= open on Binance at 5 PM ET April 12. Resolves Down otherwise. Data source: Binance BNB/USDT pair, 1H candle close and open prices displayed on chart.
Kalshi: Price-band market. Resolves Yes if CF Benchmarks BNBUSD_RTI 60-second average before 5 PM EDT falls into any of 28 predefined $5 price ranges ($510-$700+). Resolves No if price falls outside all bands. Data source: CF Benchmarks BNBUSD_RTI real-time index.
