Kalshi WTI contracts show $10.7 million traded on near-term price thresholds
Kalshi listed 10,720,958 dollars of volume on its market for how high WTI crude will get by end of next month, with 115.01 dollars or above paying 2.14 times and 120.01 dollars or above paying 2.98 times. Its WTI price at year end market priced 100 dollars or above at 1.97 times on 162,818 dollars traded.
Kalshi listed $10,720,958 in trading volume for its market on how high WTI crude will reach by the end of next month, according to Kalshi figures provided in the Nov 1, 2026, 8:45 AM ET update.
Near-term thresholds and payouts
The market showed a payout multiple of 2.14 times for WTI reaching $115.01 or above. The $120.01-or-above threshold carried a multiple of 2.98 times, according to Kalshi.
Those figures describe two thresholds within the same near-term market. The supplied summary gives total market volume, but does not break out trading volume for either threshold.
Year-end contract offers a separate comparison
Kalshi also listed a market on WTI’s price at year end. Its $100-or-above outcome was priced at 1.97 times, with $162,818 traded in that market.
The two markets address different questions: the highest level WTI reaches by the end of next month versus its price at year end. Their payout multiples therefore should not be treated as directly comparable forecasts of the same outcome.
What it means for prediction markets
- Activity is concentrated in the near-term market: Its reported $10,720,958 volume substantially exceeds the year-end market’s $162,818.
- Thresholds carry different payout multiples: The near-term $115.01 and $120.01 outcomes were listed at 2.14 times and 2.98 times, respectively; those figures are not guarantees that either price will be reached.
- Timing and contract wording matter: A market about reaching a price during a period differs from one about the price at year end. The supplied summary does not include full settlement rules.
