What it means for prediction markets

- The third-place crypto-market ranking and 12,000 contracts traded establish the contract’s relative activity within this Kalshi snapshot, not across prediction markets generally.
- Open interest of 616,000 contracts should not be confused with daily turnover. The supplied material does not include settlement rules, which are needed to interpret precisely how the threshold and deadline apply.
