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 19, 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 37 discrete price band outcomes.
Two distinct price sources and measurement methodologies create incompatible resolution outcomes. Polymarket uses Binance XRP/USDT 1-hour candle open/close comparison; Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI 60-second average across 37 discrete price bands.
Hero Tip:
Do not assume Polymarket and Kalshi outcomes are correlated. Binance spot price and CF Benchmarks index can diverge. Monitor both sources independently. Kalshi's 37 price bands mean most outcomes resolve to No unless the index lands precisely in one of the specified ranges.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Binary Up/Down resolution based on Binance XRP/USDT 1-hour candle. Resolves Up if close >= open; Down otherwise. Resolution source: Binance official 1H candle data for XRP/USDT pair.

Resolves Yes if index falls within any specified band; No otherwise.
