Jupiter, one of the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregators on Solana, is preparing to fully launch its native prediction market before the end of 2025. The move marks another step in the platform’s strategy to expand its on-chain product suite and attract a wider base of users and liquidity providers.
The company confirmed this week that the beta version of the Jupiter Prediction Market (JPM) is now live. Built in collaboration with Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated event futures exchange, the platform enables users to bet on real-world outcomes — from financial indicators to sports and entertainment events.
A New On-Chain Frontier
Jupiter’s Chief Operating Officer Kash Dhanda described prediction markets as “a powerful evolution in the types of assets that are available onchain.” He added that the partnership with Kalshi would combine Jupiter’s vast DeFi infrastructure with regulated liquidity from traditional financial players.
“As our prediction markets grow, so does our reach, our cross-product synergy, and our revenue — all of which is long-term beneficial to JUP tokenholders,” Dhanda said.
Dhanda emphasized that the full launch is expected in Q4 2025, with continuous product improvements based on community feedback. “We’ll keep iterating on the product and increasing limits in line with feedback we receive,” he said.
Beta Market Sees Early Traction
The beta launch currently features a single live market — a bet on who will win the Formula One Mexico Grand Prix. Within 24 hours, the test market crossed $120,000 in trading volume, underscoring the appetite for event-driven speculation.
Participants can purchase up to 1,000 contracts each, with a global maximum of 100,000 contracts. According to Jupiter data, Max Verstappen leads the odds with 46% of total positions, followed by Lando Norris with 27%.
A Booming Sector
Jupiter’s entry comes amid a surge of institutional interest in prediction markets. The Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) recently invested $2 billion in Polymarket, valuing it at $9 billion, while Kalshi raised $300 million in its Series D round at a $5 billion valuation.
According to data from Dune Analytics, weekly trading volume across major prediction platforms surpassed $2 billion in October 2025, setting a new all-time high.
Integrating DeFi and Real-World Events
With 8.4 million active users and growing engagement across Solana’s ecosystem, Jupiter aims to make prediction markets a core component of decentralized finance.
By offering on-chain exposure to real-world outcomes, the platform is positioning itself at the intersection of DeFi, gaming, and regulated event futures — a hybrid approach that could bring a new wave of participation to Solana.
If the rollout stays on schedule, Jupiter’s prediction market could become one of the largest retail-accessible event trading platforms in crypto before 2026 — marking a significant milestone for the DeFi industry’s mainstream evolution.
