Kalshi traders price England at 65% to beat Norway in World Cup quarterfinal
Kalshi traders price England at 65% to defeat Norway in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinal. The market features Norway's Erling Haaland, who has scored seven goals in the tournament, against England's Harry Kane. Sports Illustrated reports strong trading interest in the contract. Separately, blockchain-based platforms are seeing a surge of activity around Norway's historic semifinal run, giving crypto prediction markets their biggest moment of the tournament.
This market tests whether Kalshi can retain flow as crypto venues capture the Norway narrative. Polymarket and blockchain platforms are riding the underdog story with surging activity, while Kalshi's 65% line offers no spread or depth data for traders to verify against.
Institutional desks need more than headline prices to commit size. Without disclosed volume or open interest, Kalshi risks losing the casual and serious traders who are gravitating to crypto venues for this fixture. The quarterfinal is a direct competition for attention between regulated and blockchain-based markets.
