Solana’s leading DEX, Jupiter, has unveiled a new prediction market in partnership with the US-compliant platform Kalshi.
The move comes as the crypto market witnesses a notable surge in overall adoption, including via prediction marketplaces.
Jupiter’s launch of its prediction market in beta marks yet another milestone for the DEX platform.
Jupiter Exchange, the prominent Solana-based decentralized exchange known for its liquidity aggregation prowess has today, October 22, 2025, announced the rollout of its inaugural prediction market, seamlessly powered by Kalshi.
Jupiter, which has amassed billions in trading volume since its inception, has positioned this launch as an important expansion beyond traditional token swaps.
By integrating Kalshi’s robust regulatory framework, the platform ensures adherence to federal standards while harnessing Solana’s high-speed, low-fee architecture.
Kalshi supplies event data and verification, while Jupiter’s smart contracts handle trading and payouts as part of the integration model.
Users will connect through familiar Solana wallets as Phantom, executing trades through the DEX’s V6 aggregator for optimal liquidity routing.
The debut market targets the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix, set for October 27, 2025, at Mexico City’s Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
On the card for the race are top contenders like Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, and Charles Leclerc.
The new prediction market on Jupiter empowers users to speculate on the Mexico Grand Prix winner through intuitive, binary-style contracts.
Traders purchase shares priced from $0.01 to $0.99, where the value mirrors collective market sentiment on a driver’s victory odds.
If Verstappen’s shares trade at $0.65, for instance, it implies a 65% perceived chance of him claiming the checkered flag.
According to details, trading commences immediately and continues until the race starts, with no upper limit on positions beyond available liquidity.
Notably, Jupiter has minimum bets set low, which should see it appeal to both casual F1 enthusiasts and seasoned DeFi traders.
Kalshi will verify the official F1 result via its API, triggering on-chain redemptions.
Kalshi is one of the top prediction markets in the space and recently raised $300 million in a series D funding round amid its global expansion.
The funding valued Kalshi at $5 billion, with leading venture capital firms like Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Paradigm and Coinbase Ventures backing it.
Jupiter Exchange, meanwhile, has remained a top DeFi protocol on Solana. Currently, Jupiter ranks second behind Kamino in terms of total value locked, with over $3.76 billion.
TVL has grown in recent months as activity soared – particularly following the launch of the DEX protocol’s Jupiter Lend product.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin defended his blockchain’s 45-day exit queue after Galaxy Digital’s head of digital called it “troubling,” sparking backlash. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has finally addressed some concerns over the lengthening Ethereum staking exit queue, which has now grown to 45 days. His response came after Galaxy Digital’s head of DeFi, Michael Marcantonio, called the exit queue length “troubling” on X and compared it to Solana which only needs two days to unstake. He has since deleted the posts. However, Buterin seemingly took a more ideological stance on the subject, describing unstaking from Ethereum as “more like a soldier deciding to quit the army,” adding that staking is more about “taking on a solemn duty to defend the chain.”Read more
