Kalshi dominates early November 5 prediction-market volume at $1.16B
No new platform headline in the last 30 minutes changes the picture, so this edition leads with a fresh volume/metrics read, in a category different from the previous…
Prediction-market trading volume across venues reached $1.23B so far on November 5, with Kalshi accounting for $1.16B, according to the supplied metrics update.
The snapshot was published on Nov 5, 2026, at 1:24 AM ET. Those figures represent activity recorded by that point, not a completed daily total.
Volume takes the lead
The update said no new platform headline in the preceding 30 minutes had changed the picture. It therefore focused on fresh trading metrics rather than a new platform development.
Kalshi’s contribution represented the overwhelming majority of the reported volume. The supplied material did not break out activity at other venues or provide a comparable earlier period, limiting conclusions about growth or changes in venue share.
What it means for prediction markets
- Activity was concentrated: Kalshi accounted for $1.16B of the $1.23B reported across venues, making its trading activity central to this snapshot.
- Timing matters: The early November 5 reading should not be treated as a full-day result.
- Volume is not a probability signal: Without contract-level prices or trading details, the figures alone do not establish how expectations for specific outcomes changed.
