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 13, 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 50 distinct price thresholds.
Polymarket and Kalshi use different data sources, measurement methodologies, and resolution structures. Polymarket is a single binary (close >= open on Binance 1H candle), while Kalshi offers 50 separate threshold-based markets using CF Benchmarks RTI with 60-second averaging.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as separate markets, not hedges. Polymarket's binary logic (up/down) does not directly map to any single Kalshi threshold. Confirm your data source preference: Binance XRP/USDT spot (Polymarket) vs CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI (Kalshi). Monitor both sources in the hour leading to 5 PM ET on March 13, 2026 for potential divergence.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Single binary market: resolves Up if XRP/USDT close >= open for the 1H candle starting at 5 PM ET on March 13, 2026. Data source: Binance XRP/USDT pair. Resolution is deterministic once the candle closes.
Kalshi:
50 separate Yes/No markets, each tied to a specific price threshold (0.7999 to 1.7799 XRPUSD). Each resolves Yes if the 60-second simple average of CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI before 5 PM EDT exceeds its threshold. Data source: CF Benchmarks Real Time Index, not spot exchange.
