Prediction Markets Boom as Volumes Surpass 2024 Election
The trading volume on the leading prediction markets platforms, Polymarket and Kalshi, has hit a new record high, surpassing the previous peak reached during the US presidential election last year.
The recent jump in trading activity offers one of the clearest indications yet of the growing excitement around the exchanges that allow investors to bet on the likelihood of real-world events, just as financial firms like CME Group Inc. and Intercontinental Exchange Inc. look for a way into these hot markets.
Kalshi and Polymarket saw notional trading volume rise above $2 billion for the first time, during the week ending Oct. 19, according to publicly available data collated by the user dunedata on Dune Analytics. That figure eclipses the frenzied trading seen during last year’s US presidential election, when the two platforms first entered the financial mainstream.
