Listed series and trading activity
Kalshi lists 30 fifteen-minute series, of which 20 are trading in the November 5 reading, according to PredictionMarketPicks. The figures distinguish the number of available series from those recording trading activity.
Among commodities, gold is the largest series, with 47.5 million contracts over the last 96 windows. WTI crude oil follows at 10.6 million contracts over the same span.
What it means for prediction markets
- Bitcoin’s 71 percent share makes it the dominant source of contract activity in the reported 15-minute markets. That concentration measures trading activity, not the probability of a price move.
- Gold’s contract total exceeds WTI crude oil’s in the reported window, establishing it as the leading commodity series by this measure.
- With 20 of 30 listed series trading, the listing count alone does not capture participation. The supplied figures do not establish spreads, market depth or execution quality.
