Big moves are coming from Jupiter, the leading decentralized exchange on Solana. The team just revealed that it’s preparing to fully launch its own prediction market before 2026, and the crypto community is buzzing.
What’s happening
Jupiter has been quietly testing its on-chain prediction market, letting users bet on real-world events like the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix using crypto. The beta phase is already live and running smoothly.
To make this even more legit, Jupiter teamed up with Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated event trading platform. This partnership lets Jupiter bring real-world event markets onto the blockchain, combining regulated data with decentralized trading.
Why it matters
This is a big leap for Solana and for Web3 in general. Prediction markets are one of the fastest-growing areas in crypto and Jupiter’s entry means Solana users will soon have a fast, cheap, and fully on-chain way to trade on real-world outcomes.
Plus, because Kalshi is fully regulated by the CFTC, this move could finally bridge the gap between traditional finance and crypto prediction markets something most competitors haven’t pulled off yet.
What’s next
The full launch is set for late 2025, right before 2026.
Jupiter plans to add more event categories sports, politics, crypto prices, and maybe even pop culture.
The JUP token could see a bump in activity if the new markets bring more users and liquidity into the ecosystem.
A quick heads-up
While the partnership with Kalshi adds credibility, U.S. regulations on prediction markets are still evolving, and Jupiter will need to tread carefully to keep things compliant.
Bottom line:
Jupiter is turning prediction trading into something fast, accessible, and actually fun all powered by Solana. If the launch goes as planned, it could reshape how people use crypto to interact with real-world events.
