This event group tracks whether HYPE token price moves up or down on March 31, 2026 at 5 PM ET. Polymarket uses Binance HYPE/USDT 1-hour candle open/close comparison, while Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks' UHYPEUSDRTI 60-second average price across 36 discrete price bands. The two platforms measure fundamentally different data sources and methodologies.
Polymarket and Kalshi employ incompatible data sources (Binance HYPE/USDT futures vs CF Benchmarks UHYPEUSDRTI), measurement methodologies (1-hour candle open/close vs 60-second average), and resolution structures (binary directional vs 36-band price lottery). Markets will not resolve identically.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as separate markets with different risk profiles. Polymarket is a pure directional bet; Kalshi is heavily skewed toward YES (36 YES bands vs 2 NO outcomes). Cross-platform arbitrage is possible but requires careful tracking of both data feeds independently. Confirm which benchmark your counterparties are using before settlement.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Binary directional market. Resolves UP if Binance HYPE/USDT 1-hour candle close price >= open price at 5 PM ET on March 31, 2026. Resolves DOWN otherwise. Single data source: Binance futures HYPE/USDT pair. Key Quote: 'The close C and open O displayed at the top of the graph for the relevant 1H candle will be used once the data for that candle is finalized.'
Kalshi:
Price-band lottery with 36 YES outcomes. Resolves YES if CF Benchmarks UHYPEUSDRTI 60-second simple average falls within any of these bands: $19-$19.99, $20-$20.99, $21-$21.99, $22-$22.99, $23-$23.99, $24-$24.99, $25-$25.99, $26-$26.99, $27-$27.99, $28-$28.99, $29-$29.99, $30-$30.99, $31-$31.99, $32-$32.99, $33-$33.99, $34-$34.99, $35-$35.99, $36-$36.99, $37-$37.99, $38-$38.99, $39-$39.99, $40-$40.99, $41-$41.99, $42-$42.99, $43-$43.99, $44-$44.99, $45-$45.99, $46-$46.99, $47-$47.99, $48-$48.99, $49-$49.99, $50-$50.99, $51-$51.99, $52-$52.99, $53-$53.99, $54-$54.99, $55-$55.99, $56-$56.99, or above $56.99. Resolves NO only if price is below $19.00. Key Quote: 'If the simple average of the sixty seconds of CF Benchmarks UHYPEUSDRTI before 5 PM EDT is between [price range] at 5 PM EDT on Mar 31, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.'
