Prediction-market trading volume reached $1.85B across venues tracked by DeFi Rate so far on November 5, 2026, according to its volume tracker. Kalshi accounted for $1.62B of that total.
An early snapshot of trading
The tracker reading reflects data as of Nov. 5 at 6:30 AM ET. The figures therefore represent activity recorded by that point, rather than a completed daily tally.
The accompanying update was published on Nov 5, 2026 at 8:54 AM ET. That publication time is distinct from the earlier cutoff for the underlying volume data.
Kalshi accounts for most tracked volume
Kalshi’s $1.62B places it well ahead of the other tracked venues combined in this snapshot. The supplied material does not break out those other venues individually or identify which contracts generated the activity.
The $1.85B figure applies to the venues DeFi Rate tracks. The available summary does not establish that it covers the entire prediction-market industry.
What it means for prediction markets
- Venue concentration: Kalshi accounts for most of the reported trading, making the aggregate heavily dependent on activity there.
- Timing matters: Comparisons with other daily totals need to account for the 6:30 AM ET data cutoff.
- Volume is not a probability signal: The supplied figures show trading activity, but provide no contract prices or market-level breakdown from which to assess changes in expectations.
