This event group tracks whether XRP/USD will close higher than or equal to its opening price during a specific 1-hour candle on March 10, 2026 at 5 PM ET. Polymarket uses Binance XRP/USDT spot prices, while Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks' Ripple-Dollar Real Time Index (XRPUSD_RTI) with multiple price thresholds.
Polymarket and Kalshi measure fundamentally different settlement concepts: Polymarket resolves on directional price movement (close vs open comparison on a 1H candle), while Kalshi resolves on absolute price levels against 40 distinct thresholds using a different data source (CF Benchmarks RTI vs Binance spot).
Hero Tip:
Do not assume these markets are interchangeable. Polymarket tells you if XRP moved up or down during the hour; Kalshi tells you if XRP's 60-second average price at exactly 5 PM ET exceeded specific levels. The data sources differ (Binance spot vs CF Benchmarks RTI), and timing precision differs (1H candle close vs 60-second average). Choose your platform based on which settlement method and data source you trust.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Binary directional resolution based on 1-hour candle open vs close on Binance XRP/USDT. Resolves Up if close >= open, Down otherwise. Source: Binance XRP/USDT pair displayed at top of 1H chart. 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: 40 separate threshold-based markets, each resolving Yes if the 60-second simple average of CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI before 5 PM EDT exceeds a specific price level (ranging from 0.8999 to 1.6799). Key Quote: 'If the simple average of the sixty seconds of CF Benchmarks' Ripple-Dollar Real Time Index (XRPUSD_RTI) before 5 PM EDT is above [threshold] at 5 PM EDT on Mar 10, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.'
