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 11, 2026 at 5 PM ET. Polymarket uses Binance XRP/USDT spot data, while Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks' Ripple-Dollar Real Time Index (XRPUSD_RTI) with 40 discrete price band outcomes.
Two distinct price indices and measurement methodologies create settlement value mismatch. Polymarket uses Binance XRP/USDT spot candle data; Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI 60-second average. Outcomes may not correlate.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as two separate markets with different underlying assets. Polymarket outcome depends on Binance candle mechanics (open/close comparison); Kalshi outcome depends on which of 40 price bands the RTI average falls into. Price divergence between Binance spot and CF Benchmarks RTI is possible and historically observed. Hedge or arbitrage only if you have confidence in both data sources.
