Forget Bitcoin's BTC/USD rollercoaster ride – crypto traders are already betting on President Donald Trump's next words.

The crypto world is on edge as Trump prepares to address industry leaders at the first-ever White House Crypto Summit on Friday. With his recent announcement of a Strategic Crypto Reserve sending shockwaves through the market, investors and analysts alike are scrambling to predict what might come next.

But while traders typically rely on charts and headlines, Kalshi prediction markets are offering a different kind of crystal ball—one that suggests AI, crypto, and Ripple XRP/USD could be the hot topics dominating Trump’s speech.

As the White House Crypto Summit kicks off on Friday, prediction markets on Kalshi are buzzing with wagers on what the former president will bring up. And according to the latest odds, AI has a slight edge over crypto in Trump's speech.

Kalshi's Crypto Crystal Ball: AI, XRP, Solana In Focus

At 68% probability, AI/Artificial Intelligence is the hottest topic expected to come up, slightly edging out cryptocurrency at 67%. But the real intrigue?

XRP and Solana SOL/USD are beating out even "blockchain" itself.

Here's where the Kalshi markets stand as of March 7, 10 AM ET:

  • AI/Artificial Intelligence68%
  • Cryptocurrency67%
  • XRP/Ripple65%
  • Energy64%
  • Solana (SOL)54%
  • Coinbase COIN53%
  • Blockchain44%
  • Ross Ulbricht40%
  • Gary Gensler28%

XRP's Unexpected Popularity & Gensler's Low Odds

The fact that XRP is polling higher than "blockchain" itself is a surprise, hinting at a strong belief that Trump may reference Ripple's ongoing regulatory battles.

Meanwhile, SEC Chair Gary Gensler barely cracks 28%, suggesting traders see crypto regulation taking a backseat to bigger themes like AI and energy policy.

With Trump's Strategic Crypto Reserve announcement still sending ripples through the markets, today's speech could solidify his stance—or introduce another unexpected twist.

Either way, Kalshi traders are already placing their bets.
