Odaily Planet Daily News: Against the backdrop of recent regulatory scrutiny, prediction market activities have not slowed down. On Monday, the daily trading volume of prediction markets reached approximately $701.7 million (about $702 million), setting a new record. Data shows that Kalshi accounted for about $465.9 million, or roughly two-thirds of the total, while competing platforms Polymarket and Opinion together contributed approximately $100 million in trading volume.
Prediction markets have remained hot in recent years, becoming a rapidly growing category of infrastructure products in the crypto space, with significant growth in trading volume and adoption by 2025. Kalshi is one of the leading prediction markets in the United States, where traditional sports betting contracts make up the majority of its revenue, and the platform has already established partnerships with major media outlets.
Despite regulatory scrutiny (such as discussions targeting insider trading), prediction markets continue to attract traders and institutions, driving total volume to keep rising. (Cointelegraph)
