This event group tracks whether XRP/USD price moves up or down during a specific 1-hour candle on March 12, 2026 at 5 PM ET. Polymarket uses Binance XRP/USDT spot price (open vs close comparison), while Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks' Ripple-Dollar Real Time Index with 60-second averaging and 0.02 USD price band resolution rules.
Two distinct price measurement methodologies and resolution architectures. Polymarket resolves binary (Up vs Down) on Binance XRP/USDT spot; Kalshi resolves on CF Benchmarks index with 40 discrete price bands, each triggering Yes. The indices may diverge, and Kalshi's band structure means most outcomes resolve Yes rather than No.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as separate markets with different risk profiles. Polymarket is a true binary bet; Kalshi is a price-band lottery where ~95% of realistic XRP prices fall into a Yes band. Monitor Binance spot price for Polymarket direction and CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI for Kalshi band placement. Do not cross-hedge without accounting for index basis risk.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Binary Up/Down resolution. Resolves Up if Binance XRP/USDT 1H candle close >= open; otherwise Down. Single data source (Binance), simple comparison logic, true 50/50 outcome space.
Kalshi: 40 discrete Yes-resolution price bands (0.02 USD width) spanning 0.92000–1.6799+, based on CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI 60-second pre-5PM average. Resolves Yes if price falls in any band; resolves No only if price < 0.92000 or > 1.6799. Heavily skewed toward Yes outcomes.
