This event group tracks whether Solana (SOL) price moves up or down on March 9, 2026 at 5 PM ET. Kalshi uses a granular price-band approach with 75 specific $1 price ranges, while Polymarket uses a simpler binary comparison of the 1-hour candle open versus close price on Binance SOL/USDT.
Kalshi and Polymarket use incompatible measurement methodologies and data sources. Kalshi measures whether a CF Benchmarks 60-second average price snapshot falls within one of 75 discrete $1 bands; Polymarket measures directional price movement via Binance 1-hour candle open/close comparison. The same price action could produce different outcomes on each platform.
Hero Tip:
Do not assume these markets will resolve identically. Kalshi has 75 YES outcomes and multiple NO gaps; Polymarket has only two outcomes (UP or DOWN). A price in a Kalshi gap band (e.g., $44.50, $45.50, $51.50) triggers NO on Kalshi but could still trigger UP on Polymarket if Binance's hourly close exceeds open. Arbitrage risk exists if you hold both positions.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Resolves YES if CF Benchmarks SOLUSD_RTI 60-second simple average before 5 PM EDT on Mar 9, 2026 lands in any of 75 specific $1 price bands (e.g., $44-44.9999, $46-46.9999, $48-48.9999, ... $116+). Resolves NO if price falls in gaps between bands or below $44. Key quote: 'If the simple average of the sixty seconds of CF Benchmarks' SOLUSD_RTI before 5 PM EDT is between [X]-[X].9999 at 5 PM EDT on Mar 9, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket: Resolves UP if Binance SOL/USDT 1-hour candle close price >= open price for the candle beginning at 5 PM ET on Mar 9, 2026. Resolves DOWN otherwise. Uses only Binance spot SOL/USDT pair data. Key quote: 'This market will resolve to Up if the close price is greater than or equal to the open price for the SOL/USDT 1 hour candle that begins on the time and date specified in the title.'
