The Kalshi backing is crucial because it brings established liquidity and regulatory compliance to the market, enhancing trust and stability for users. This could transform how users engage with real-world events by offering fast, low-cost, and transparent betting.

The prediction market industry has seen rapid growth as it combines elements of finance, gaming and social engagement, allowing users to speculate on real-world events with transparency and liquidity. According to Dune Analytics, leading platforms Kalshi and Polymarket together recently registered a record weekly trading volume of over $2 billion.

Market participants can buy and sell "yes" and "no" shares on a variety of choices tied to the Grand Prix winner. Prices of these shares are determined by demand and supply, with traders retaining the flexibility to exit positions at any time before the end of the betting contract. At the conclusion of the event, winning positions pay out $1 each, while bets that turned out to be wrong expire worthless.

As a beta offering, Jupiter has implemented initial trading limits to ensure market stability, including a global maximum of 100,000 contracts and a maximum of 1,000 contracts per individual position.
