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 28, 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 40 separate price-level thresholds.
Polymarket and Kalshi employ incompatible data sources (Binance spot XRP/USDT vs. CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI index) and resolution structures (binary Up/Down vs. 40 threshold-based Yes/No markets). Settlement values will not align.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as separate, non-hedging markets. Polymarket resolves on Binance exchange data; Kalshi resolves on a third-party real-time index. Price discovery and settlement timing may differ. Confirm your data source preference before trading.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Binary Up/Down resolution based on whether the XRP/USDT 1-hour candle close price is greater than or equal to the open price on Binance. Uses spot exchange data from https://www.binance.com/en/trade/XRP_USDT. 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 Yes/No markets, each resolving Yes if the 60-second simple average of CF Benchmarks' XRPUSD_RTI before 5 PM EDT exceeds a specific threshold (0.8999 through 1.6799). Uses real-time index data, not spot exchange. 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]...'
