Crypto prediction markets are some of the most actively traded contracts on both Kalshi and Polymarket. Bitcoin price targets, ETH milestones, and crypto regulatory outcomes all draw massive volume.

## Bitcoin Prediction Markets on Kalshi

Kalshi lists several types of Bitcoin markets:

- **Annual price targets** — Will BTC reach $100K by year end?
- **Weekly/monthly price brackets** — What price range will BTC be in?
- **Event-driven markets** — Halving outcomes, ETF approval impacts

The annual Bitcoin bracket markets on Kalshi (`KXBTCY`) let you trade specific price ranges for January 1, 2027. Adding up all bracket probabilities above $100K gives an implied probability that can be compared against Polymarket's direct "$100K by Dec 31" contract.

**Current implied edge:** Kalshi brackets imply ~18% for BTC reaching $100K. Polymarket prices it at ~44%. That's a 26 percentage point gap — one of the biggest cross-platform edges we track.

## Ethereum and Altcoin Markets

Polymarket tends to have more altcoin and DeFi-related prediction markets. Kalshi focuses primarily on Bitcoin price and regulatory outcomes.
