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 Intelligence – 68%
- Cryptocurrency – 67%
- XRP/Ripple – 65%
- Energy – 64%
- Solana (SOL) – 54%
- Coinbase COIN – 53%
- Blockchain – 44%
- Ross Ulbricht – 40%
- Gary Gensler – 28%
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.
