Fact Check
Phantom's official 'Prediction Markets Disclosures' page directly confirms the core claim: positions on or after June 1, 2026 are powered by World Prediction Markets, a non-custodial Solana protocol with automatic payouts at event end, replacing the prior Kalshi-via-DFlow infrastructure used for pre-June 1 positions. This primary-source confirmation is independently corroborated by CryptoBriefing's two reports and a SolanaFloor X post identifying World (@world_xyz) as the new issuer. The framing that positions are 'moving from Kalshi-powered infrastructure to World, with automatic settlement on Solana designed to keep event trading inside the wallet' accurately reflects the official disclosures.
Summary
Phantom has shifted new in-app prediction market positions from Kalshi-powered infrastructure to World, which is now live in the wallet and on world.xyz as a fully onchain, non-custodial prediction market. The platform lets users trade contracts tied to crypto prices and event outcomes including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, settles using Phantom’s stablecoin on Solana, and relies on Chainlink as its main oracle infrastructure for market data and resolution.
