This event group tracks whether XRP/USD 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 XRP/USDT spot price data, while Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks' Ripple-Dollar Real Time Index (XRPUSD_RTI) with granular price band outcomes.
Two distinct price indices (Binance XRP/USDT spot vs CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI) measured at the same event time, with different aggregation windows and outcome structures (binary vs 40-band). Basis risk exists between the two data sources.
Hero Tip:
Polymarket and Kalshi are measuring different price feeds. Binance spot may diverge from CF Benchmarks RTI due to exchange-specific liquidity, aggregation lag, and methodology. Do not assume they will resolve the same way. Track both indices independently and hedge accordingly if you hold positions on both platforms.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Binary directional outcome (Up or Down) based on Binance XRP/USDT 1-hour candle. Resolves Up if close >= open for the candle beginning at 5 PM ET on April 12, 2026. Uses single exchange spot price with no price bands or granularity.
Kalshi: 40 discrete price band outcomes (each 0.02 wide, ranging 0.92000 to 1.6799+) based on CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI 60-second simple average before 5 PM EDT. Resolves Yes if price lands in any listed band; implicit No if price falls outside all bands (e.g., 0.9600-0.9799 is Yes, but 0.9800-0.9799 gap is No).
