Breaking news! Solana ecosystem Jupiter teams up with Kalshi to enter the prediction market, aiming to attract new users and boost JUP prices.
Jupiter Exchange announced on Wednesday a collaboration with Kalshi to launch the beta version of its native prediction market on Solana, marking an important step in its product diversification strategy. The beta version features the Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix champion betting as its first market, with volume quickly exceeding $120,000. Jupiter plans to fully launch the product in Q4 2025, aiming to attract more users and increase the value for JUP token holders through new revenue streams. This move comes against the backdrop of the entire prediction market industry's weekly volume reaching a new high of $2.03 billion, as well as platforms like Polymarket receiving billions of dollars in high-valuation investments, highlighting the tremendous growth potential of prediction markets.
Jupiter Strategic Upgrade: Prediction Market Attracts New Users and Boosts Coin Price
Jupiter Exchange has launched a strategy for the prediction market, which not only broadens its product boundaries but also aims to create long-term value for JUP Token holders and enhance the flywheel effect of the ecosystem.
· Rapid launch of the Beta version: Jupiter Exchange collaborates with Kalshi to launch the Beta version of its native prediction market on the Solana blockchain, allowing users to bet on real-world events directly on the Jupiter interface.
· The first market performs brilliantly: The beta version has the Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix champion as the only betting market, generating over $120,000 in volume since its launch. Max Verstappen leads with odds of 46%, followed closely by Lando Norris at 27%.
· Expand user base and revenue: Jupiter Exchange COO Kash Dhanda stated that prediction markets will help the platform attract new users by integrating its products under one platform. The platform had 8.4 million active users in Q3, a quarter-on-quarter rise of 5%, and the new products are expected to bring more growth.
· Value return to JUP holders: The revenue generated from the prediction market will flow back to the platform, and with the maturity of the product, it will increase the value of JUP token holders in the long term.
Product Planning and Technical Cooperation: Phased Launch with Kalshi Infrastructure
Jupiter has adopted a phased cautious rollout strategy for the prediction market, leveraging its partnership with Kalshi to ensure the platform's liquidity and technical maturity.
· Beta version restrictions: The maximum contract volume for the Beta version is set at 100,000 contracts, with individual position limits at 1,000 contracts. These restrictions are expected to be adjusted as the platform matures.
· Q4 Full Launch Plan: Jupiter plans to fully launch the market in the fourth quarter of 2025, gradually increasing restrictions and adding new markets. The team will continuously iterate the product based on user feedback during the Beta period.
· Kalshi provides liquidity: Kalshi will provide liquidity and infrastructure support for Jupiter's prediction market, allowing users to trade 'yes' or 'no' tokens on event outcomes.
Prediction Market Sector Explodes: Valuation Exceeds Billions and Weekly Volume Hits New Highs
Jupiter enters the prediction market at a time when this sector is experiencing rapid growth, with substantial investments and high volume, demonstrating its immense potential.
· Huge Valuation and Investment: In October 2025, the prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket made significant financing progress, with valuations reaching over ten billion dollars, reflecting strong interest from institutional investors in this field.
Polymarket Funding Progress
According to Bloomberg, Polymarket is in early talks with investors seeking to raise funds at a valuation of $12 billion to $15 billion. Just earlier this October, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, ICE, announced an investment of up to $2 billion in Polymarket, bringing its valuation to about $9 billion, and this deal has made Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan one of the youngest self-made billionaires.
Prior to this, Polymarket had completed multiple rounds of financing, including a $150 million round led by Founders Fund in 2025, at a valuation of $1.5 billion.
Kalshi Financing Progress
Additionally, according to Bloomberg, in late October, Kalshi also received a venture capital funding proposal, with a valuation possibly exceeding 10 billion dollars, and even reaching 12 billion dollars.
Kalshi announced that it raised over $300 million in a funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Sequoia Capital, at a valuation of $5 billion. In June, Kalshi completed a $185 million funding round led by Paradigm at a valuation of $2 billion. Following the funding, Kalshi announced plans to expand its business to over 140 countries.
Market Interpretation
· Industry volume hits record: As of October 13, the weekly volume of the prediction market platform reached a historic high of $2.03 billion, showing strong interest in the product from the market.
· Kalshi's market dominance: Kalshi currently holds 70% of the prediction market volume and 57% of open contracts, mainly benefiting from the expansion of its sports betting products.
· Micro-betting becomes a growth point: Kalshi and Polymarket have both launched micro-betting features, with resolution times measured in minutes. Micro-betting is expected to generate $1 billion in revenue by 2025, potentially reaching $3.5 billion by 2026, attracting a large number of retail investors seeking quick results.
Conclusion
Jupiter Exchange partners with Kalshi to launch a native prediction market, marking an important signal for product innovation and user growth in the Solana ecosystem. The rapid growth of prediction markets and massive capital inflow provide a significant new growth engine for Jupiter. For JUP token holders, the new revenue streams and cross-product synergies indicate positive long-term value growth. In the current market where there is strong demand for decentralized prediction platforms, the comprehensive launch of Jupiter is worth close attention from all crypto communities and investors.
