Kalshi Launches KalshiEco Hub with Solana and Coinbase Base
Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated prediction market platform, announced the launch of its KalshiEco hub on September 17, 2025. The new hub is created in partnership with Solana and Coinbase’s Base layer-2 network.
The platform shared the news on X, stating, “We’re backing offchain and on-chain innovation, with dedicated grants partnering with Solana and Base.”
KalshiEco aims to support developers, traders, and content creators. It offers funding and resources for building tools and content around prediction markets. These markets cover elections, sports, and other competitive events.
Kalshi uses Solana’s fast, low-cost blockchain and Base’s Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution. This combination helps the platform process transactions efficiently.
Kalshi Records $875 Million in Monthly Trading Volume
Kalshi reported about $875 million in trading activity last month. This is a significant volume but remains below rival Polymarket’s $1 billion in the same period.
Polymarket has surpassed $1 billion in monthly trading multiple times. It recently gained Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approval to relaunch in the U.S. after settling a 2022 case over unregistered binary options contracts.
In July 2025, Polymarket acquired derivatives exchange QCEX for $112 million. This move supports its return to U.S. markets.
Kalshi, backed by Paradigm, raised $185 million in June 2025. The company is reportedly close to securing new funding at a $5 billion valuation.
Partnerships and Market Expansion
Kalshi partnered with Robinhood to launch college and professional football prediction markets. The KalshiEco hub is attracting creators to produce content for events like the FIFA World Cup, League of Legends World Championship, NBA, and NFL games.
Other companies, including Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Underdog, are also exploring or launching their own prediction market platforms.
