This event group tracks whether Dogecoin's price will be up or down at 5 PM ET on April 5, 2026. Polymarket uses Binance DOGE/USDT 1-hour candle open/close comparison, while Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks' Dogecoin Real-Time Index (DOGEUSD_RTI) with a 60-second average. The markets measure the same directional outcome but rely on different data sources and methodologies.
Polymarket and Kalshi use fundamentally different resolution sources, metrics, and logic. Polymarket resolves based on Binance DOGE/USDT 1-hour candle open/close comparison, while Kalshi resolves based on CF Benchmarks' Dogecoin Real-Time Index (DOGEUSD_RTI) price bands. These are incompatible settlement frameworks that will produce different outcomes.
Hero Tip:
Do not assume these markets will resolve identically. Polymarket's binary Up/Down outcome depends on a single exchange (Binance) and a single candle's open vs. close. Kalshi's outcome depends on whether a 60-second average of a different price index falls into one of 37 specific price bands—most bands resolve YES, making Kalshi heavily skewed toward YES resolution. Arbitrage or hedging between these platforms is extremely risky.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Outlier: Resolves based on Binance DOGE/USDT pair only, comparing the open and close price of a single 1-hour candle. Market resolves UP if close >= open, DOWN otherwise. Uses a single exchange as the authoritative source: 'The close and open displayed at the top of the graph for the relevant 1H candle will be used once the data for that candle is finalized.'
Kalshi: Outlier: Resolves based on CF Benchmarks' Dogecoin Real-Time Index (DOGEUSD_RTI), not Binance. Uses a 60-second average of this index and resolves YES if the average falls into any of 37 predefined price bands (covering nearly all price levels from below 0.01 to above 0.185). The market structure implies NO resolution only if the price falls into unmapped gaps, making YES the heavily favored outcome by design.
