Short-duration Bitcoin markets lead Kalshi’s crypto growth as sector turnover hits $164 million

DeFi Rate's crypto board reports 164 million dollars of crypto contracts traded in the last 24 hours, with crypto making up about 12 percent of all prediction market trading. Kalshi crypto volume is up 17 percent against the prior 30 days, most of it in the 15-minute Bitcoin markets that settle 96 times a day.

Crypto contracts generated $164 million in trading across prediction markets in the last 24 hours, according to DeFi Rate’s crypto board. The figures were reported on Nov 1, 2026, at 8:15 PM ET.

Crypto accounted for about 12 percent of all prediction-market trading, according to DeFi Rate. That places the dollar turnover alongside a measure of the category’s share of overall activity.

Kalshi growth centers on 15-minute Bitcoin contracts

Kalshi’s crypto trading volume rose 17 percent against the prior 30 days, according to DeFi Rate. That platform-specific comparison covers a different period from the board’s 24-hour turnover figure.

Most of Kalshi’s crypto volume was concentrated in its 15-minute Bitcoin markets, which settle 96 times a day. The concentration makes those short-duration contracts central to understanding the platform’s reported crypto activity.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Time windows matter: The $164 million figure measures trading over 24 hours, while Kalshi’s 17 percent increase compares volume against the prior 30 days.
  • Volume is not directional sentiment: The reported turnover does not establish whether traders expect Bitcoin prices to rise or fall.
  • Contract structure matters: With most of Kalshi’s crypto volume in Bitcoin markets settling 96 times a day, aggregate activity should not be read as evidence of equally strong trading across other crypto contracts.
