Phantom Announces 15-Minute Bitcoin Markets for U.S. Kalshi Rollout

Phantom announced Oct. 28 that Kalshi-powered prediction markets were opening to eligible U.S. users, adding 15-minute Bitcoin contracts to the wallet app’s lineup alongside sports and other event markets.

The Bitcoin contracts are short-window up-or-down markets, with a new settlement interval every 15 minutes. Users choose Yes or No in Phantom’s Predict tab. The announced lineup also covers other crypto assets and markets tied to professional and college sports, economics, politics and current events.

Kalshi handles customer checks, approves trading accounts and executes orders placed through Phantom. Trading requires a new or linked Kalshi account and completed identity checks. Kalshi markets are unavailable in Michigan, Nevada and Washington, and restrictions vary by market category.

Femi Awomosu, Phantom’s Head of Product (Trading), said, “every extra screen costs you the price you saw.”

The announcement builds on Phantom’s Oct. 23 introduction of Kalshi markets for U.S. users, detailed in earlier coverage of the wallet’s U.S. rollout.
