This event group tracks whether Solana (SOL) price moves up or down on March 4, 2026 at 5 PM ET. Polymarket uses Binance SOL/USDT 1-hour candle open/close comparison, while Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks SOLUSD_RTI 60-second average price levels. Both markets resolve on the same date and time but employ fundamentally different price sources and measurement methodologies.
Polymarket and Kalshi employ incompatible price sources (Binance SOL/USDT vs. CF Benchmarks SOLUSD_RTI), different measurement windows (1-hour candle open/close vs. 60-second average), and distinct resolution logic (binary up/down vs. 75 independent price-level thresholds). The same SOL price movement at 5 PM ET could resolve differently on each platform.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as separate markets with independent resolution paths. Polymarket outcome depends on Binance 1H candle open vs. close; Kalshi outcome depends on whether CF Benchmarks 60-second average exceeds your specific threshold. Price sources may diverge during volatility. Confirm your Kalshi contract threshold before trading, as each is a distinct binary. Do not assume cross-platform hedging.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Binary up/down resolution based on Binance SOL/USDT 1-hour candle. Resolves UP if close price >= open price; DOWN otherwise. Single source: Binance official chart data. Measurement: full 1-hour candle from specified start time. 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: 75 independent YES/NO contracts, each tied to a distinct price threshold (42.9999 to 116.9999 USD). Each resolves YES if CF Benchmarks SOLUSD_RTI 60-second simple average before 5 PM EST exceeds the threshold; no explicit NO condition stated. Source: CF Benchmarks SOLUSD_RTI reference rate. Measurement: 60-second window immediately before 5 PM EST. Key Quote: 'If the simple average of the sixty seconds of CF Benchmarks SOLUSD_RTI before 5 PM EST is above [threshold] at 5 PM EST on Mar 4, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.'
