Kalshi 39%

4-bullet brief | narrative

The Kalshi prediction market puts 39% on a US crypto market structure bill becoming law before January 1, 2027.
Japan's landmark tax cut passage raises the regulatory comparison bar, but the Kalshi contract at 39% shows the US market is not pricing a high-confidence legislative outcome this year.
The companion Polymarket contract CM-EVT-ZXN47LV744 puts 40% on the Clarity Act specifically being signed by end of 2026, a near-identical read that corroborates the 39% Kalshi figure across venues.
Kalshi contract resolves via White House confirmation of bill signing; the two-month window to year-end is the primary resolution risk given congressional calendar uncertainty.
