The prediction market has started to play with tokenization, and this may be more explosive than you think.
Kalshi recently did something bold - moving market contracts directly onto the blockchain, tokenizing them, and throwing them into the Solana ecosystem. This isn't just about riding the hype; they are here to take jobs. Since the start of the NFL season in September, Kalshi has created over 2.7 million options just from various game predictions, player data, and segmented metrics, averaging 30,000 new contracts daily.
It is important to know that this issuance speed can already benchmark and even surpass the Pump Fun meme launch platform. The key is that these options come with an expiration time, with some cycles being as short as the duration of a single match. For those who are used to fast-paced, short-term plays and love the excitement of PvP, the appeal of this thing might be even stronger than that of meme coins.
What’s even more impressive is Kalshi's approach: first, quickly expand through traditional brokerage channels like Robinhood and Webull, then create massive segmented markets using top-tier events like the NFL, and finally tokenize Options on Solana, the most fertile ground for Memes, and complete secondary distribution directly using ready-made Meme trading terminals.
With this set of combo moves, those trading front-ends might have to specially create a new partition for Options tokens in the future.

Wow, 2.7 million contracts in just over a month? Kalshi is really putting in the effort to grab the cake from Pump Fun, playing the fast-food routine of short-term Options, I think it's good.
