Phantom, a popular crypto wallet with over 20 million users, has expanded its service offerings by integrating Kalshi's prediction markets for eligible users in the United States. This move, which became effective on October 28, 2026, allows users to participate in CFTC-regulated event contracts through the Kalshi platform.

The integration offers a variety of prediction markets, including 15-minute Bitcoin price settlement contracts. These contracts are funded using the CASH stablecoin, which has a circulating supply of $128.24 million according to DeFiLlama. This development marks Phantom's strategic shift towards providing decentralized finance (DeFi) and financial product offerings beyond traditional wallet services.

Multiple outlets (Crypto Economy, Cryptopolitan, Cointelegraph, and Crypto Daily) corroborate that Kalshi's prediction markets are CFTC-regulated and that the integration aims to provide users with new financial tools. However, Cryptopolitan notes that the access will be rolled out in stages, suggesting a phased approach to the rollout.

Kalshi, the partner platform, has demonstrated significant trading volume, with $10.8 billion in crypto contract trades in the 30 days prior to October 27, according to Crypto Economy. This figure underscores the growing demand for regulated prediction markets within the crypto ecosystem.

The broader market context shows a relatively stable crypto market with a total market cap of $2.79 trillion. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is currently priced at $81,148, having gained 0.40% in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

This integration is significant as it represents a strategic expansion for Phantom into the prediction market space, while also navigating the complex regulatory landscape in the US. Users can expect more financial product offerings in the future, and the success of this integration could set a precedent for other crypto wallets to follow.
