Solana 15-minute desk

The panel reads the same four numbers on every coin desk: the target Kalshi set when the window opened, the live Coinbase price and its gap from that target, the Up and Down prices in cents, and what a stake pays if you are right or costs if you are wrong. The mechanics are written up once, on the crypto markets hub, and the fee arithmetic lives in Lesson 03. What follows is only what is different about Solana.

The facts behind this desk

• Series KXSOL15M, listed by Kalshi with a fifteen-minute frequency; a window was open when we checked on 2026-09-19.
• Settles on a CF Benchmarks real-time index for SOL, the settlement source Kalshi names at the series level. We have not read the index’s exact name off a live SOL market yet, so we do not print one.
• Target precision read off each market as it opens. Our spot quote is two decimals; the panel prints the target with however many decimals Kalshi publishes, which we have not confirmed for SOL from a market object.

Read from Kalshi’s public API. Dates and the open items are listed on the Solana hub. Nothing here is filled in from memory of another coin.

Reading a mid-priced coin

Solana sits between the two extremes on this site. A bitcoin gap is a big dollar figure on a price in the tens of thousands; an XRP gap is a fraction of a cent on a price near a dollar. SOL trades in the low hundreds, so one tenth of a percent is a few tens of cents and the panel’s numbers read naturally at two decimals without the noise of either neighbour. Still judge the gap in percent: the gauge under the live price is scaled to ±0.10% of the target and widens if price runs past it, and the Short-term read scales the recent realised move to the seconds left in the window.

The chart draws Coinbase SOL-USD candles. Coinbase is one of the exchanges inside the CF Benchmarks index that settles this contract, so the two track closely without ever being the same number. A one-second print on one exchange in the final minute barely moves an index average; read the target off Kalshi and the direction off the index, not off a single candle wick.

What we have not measured yet

We have not measured a SOL window’s traded volume or open interest, so this page prints none. When we do, the figure will carry its field name and the date it was read, the way the XRP desk shows one window’s volume_fp. Until then, treat the depth of this market as unknown rather than as thin or deep.

There is no Solana hourly desk. Kalshi’s series listing shows hourly-shaped SOL series, but we have not watched one trade, so this desk stays on the quarter-hour contract and links to nothing we cannot verify.
