Kalshi, one of the largest regulated prediction market platforms, has announced integration with BNB Smart Chain (BSC), allowing users to deposit and withdraw BNB and stablecoins directly on the network. The new support gives traders using BSC a faster and simpler way to access Kalshi’s marketplace without complex bridging or network switching.

Kalshi adds BNB Smart Chain support

According to BNBChain's announcement, the new feature allows both U.S. and international users to manage funds using BNB and major stablecoins such as USDT and USDC on BSC. Domestic Kalshi accounts can now deposit and withdraw native BNB and USDT on BSC directly, while international accounts can access these same assets via connected exchange accounts, including Binance and Coinbase.

In an official post, the company stated that the BSC integration marks a major step toward “unlocking access to the world’s largest prediction market.” The addition enables users who already hold BNB or stablecoins on BSC to use their assets immediately, removing previous friction associated with transferring funds from other chains.

As part of its announcement, Kalshi emphasized that this feature helps users avoid high gas fees and slow transaction times common on other networks. This complements BSC’s strengths of low fees, high throughput, and an extensive global user base, which suits applications that require fast, high-volume activity such as prediction markets.

Binance founder acknowledges the move

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao shared the development on X. His post points out the ongoing expansion of the BNB ecosystem into more regulated and mainstream financial applications.

Zhao’s message drew attention to how the integration extends BNB’s utility beyond trading and fee discounts on Binance, allowing it to function within compliance-based platforms like Kalshi.

What the integration means for users

Kalshi operates as a regulated U.S. market where individuals can trade on real-world outcomes such as macroeconomic indicators, political elections, or technology events. Support for BNB and BSC-based stablecoins connects Kalshi’s user base to one of the most liquid blockchain ecosystems in existence.

By integrating BSC, Kalshi expands access for crypto-native users who previously had to convert their digital assets into other forms before funding their accounts. The platform now accepts direct BNB deposits, meaning those already holding funds on BSC can begin trading on event outcomes without extra steps.

For example, a user could deposit BNB or USDT from a BSC wallet or connected exchange account and use that balance to take positions on future indicators such as inflation data, cryptocurrency market prices, or sporting results. This connection also enables quicker withdrawals, since users can move their winnings back onto the BSC network in native assets.

Multichain expansion signals a broader strategy

The BSC rollout follows Kalshi’s earlier move to support the TRON network, showing a consistent strategy toward multichain adoption. Kalshi’s expansion aims to make liquidity seamless across networks while maintaining its regulatory standing in the United States.

Through this omni-chain approach, Kalshi positions itself at the intersection of on-chain participation and traditional finance, enabling users from different blockchain ecosystems to access the same event-based markets.

The release aligns with a broader market trend where prediction and derivatives platforms increasingly integrate major blockchains to attract both retail and institutional participation. As Kalshi continues to broaden its infrastructure, it reinforces BNB Chain’s growing role in powering real-world financial applications beyond decentralized exchange environments.

Strengthening the bridge between crypto and regulated markets

This development further strengthens ties between the BNB Chain ecosystem and the traditional finance sector. Prediction markets thrive on liquidity and transparency, both of which increase when access barriers for crypto users are removed.

The integration ensures that users from emerging blockchain networks can engage directly with regulated financial instruments using assets they already hold. For BNB Chain, it expands its footprint across sectors that combine compliance and blockchain efficiency.
