Kalshi Enables Fast MON and USDC Deposits on Monad

#### **The trading platform recently announced that deposits and withdrawals of native MON and USDC are live on Monad, a blockchain designed for speed and scalability. Users can now transfer assets at up to 10,000 transactions per second.** This update reflects a growing trend in decentralized finance and prediction markets, where speed and accessibility are becoming just as important as security. Kalshi, known for its event-based trading, is giving users the ability to interact with assets more seamlessly. ### **Lightning-Fast Deposits and Withdrawals** [Monad’s infrastructure](https://docs.monad.xyz/) is built for high throughput, and the integration allows Kalshi users to deposit or withdraw funds at speeds previously unheard of in crypto markets. Ten thousand transactions per second means users can move capital, react to market events, and adjust positions almost instantly. This is especially important in prediction markets, where timing can significantly impact gains and losses. A real world example illustrates the impact. Imagine a trader betting on an upcoming earnings report. With traditional blockchains, moving funds might take minutes or even longer, potentially causing missed opportunities. On Monad, the same transfers happen in seconds, allowing the trader to respond in real time. This level of responsiveness mirrors experiences in traditional finance, where milliseconds matter, but now in a decentralized setting. > Kalshi users can now deposit and withdraw native MON and USDC on [@Monad](https://twitter.com/monad?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > > Deposits at the speed of 10,000 TPS.
