A Kalshi alternative and a Polymarket alternative
Hyperprice is a short-term UP/DOWN app for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and gold. You pick a 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute round and a side. It is a separate product from Kalshi and from Polymarket.

Hyperprice, Polymarket, and Kalshi side by side
All three let you buy a side that pays $1 a share if you are right. They differ in what you predict, how long a position runs, and how you fund it.
| Compare | Hyperprice | Polymarket | Kalshi |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you predict | Whether Bitcoin, Ethereum, or gold finishes at or above the round’s opening price (UP) or below it (DOWN) | Event outcomes, plus timed crypto Up/Down rounds | Event contracts on outcomes such as economic data, sports, and elections |
| How long a position runs | 1, 5, or 15 minutes when the market is listed. You can close early. | 5 minutes to 4 hours on timed crypto rounds. Event markets run until the event resolves. | Each contract settles on its own date, set by the event |
| Payout | A winning share pays $1. A losing share pays $0. | A winning share redeems for $1. A losing share is worth $0. | A contract settles at $1 if the event happens and $0 if it does not |
| Money in and out | USDT (BEP-20) on BNB Smart Chain. Minimum deposit $10. You pay the network fee in BNB. | Runs on Polygon. Check Polymarket for current deposit methods. | Check Kalshi for current funding methods |
| Published fees | 0.3% to buy, 0.6% to exit early, 0.1% on a winning settlement. No fee on a loss. The spread is separate. | Publishes its own fee schedule | Publishes its own fee schedule |

Polymarket and Kalshi are separate companies. Their markets, fees, and availability change, so check their own sites before you choose.
Which one fits what you want to trade
- News, sports, or elections. Hyperprice does not list event markets. That is Kalshi’s and Polymarket’s territory, where they are legal for you.
- A price call that settles in minutes. That is the Hyperprice format. Pick a listed market and a 1-, 5-, or 15-minute clock, buy UP or DOWN, then sell at the current share price or hold to the end.
- A bot or an API strategy. Hyperprice has no public or private trading API. Polymarket and Kalshi both publish one.
- USDT on BNB Smart Chain. Hyperprice takes USDT (BEP-20) deposits from $10. The app and this site are in 150 languages.
One Hyperprice round, start to finish
Take a 5-minute BTC round that opens at $84,010.50. You buy UP at 52¢ a share. If the round closes at $84,010.50 or higher, each UP share pays $1. If it closes lower, the shares pay $0. Before the countdown ends, you can sell at the share price shown in the app instead.
Who it is for
People who tap UP or DOWN in the app and want the chart to match settlement, not teams buying a private realtime API. Not anyone who cannot legally use a prediction market where they live.
