Politics leads trading across top 50 markets in DeFi Rate snapshot

DeFi Rate put total 24-hour volume across its top 50 markets at 27 million dollars, with politics at 16 million dollars and 59 percent, sports at 9.3 million dollars and 35 percent, and crypto at 1.1 million dollars and 4 percent. The figures cover Kalshi, Polymarket US, Polymarket and Gemini together.

Politics generated $16 million in trading volume over 24 hours across the top 50 prediction markets tracked by DeFi Rate, accounting for 59 percent of the $27 million total, according to the outlet.

The figures combine activity on Kalshi, Polymarket US, Polymarket and Gemini. The snapshot was published Nov 1, 2026, at 8:45 AM ET.

Sports ranks second, ahead of crypto

Sports markets recorded $9.3 million in volume, representing 35 percent of the total, according to DeFi Rate. Crypto markets contributed $1.1 million, or 4 percent.

The breakdown places politics ahead of sports and crypto in this sample. Its scope is limited to DeFi Rate’s top 50 markets over the reported 24-hour period, rather than a measure of all prediction-market trading.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Political contracts dominated this snapshot: Their 59 percent share identifies where most trading volume in the tracked markets was concentrated.
  • Sports remained a substantial component: At 35 percent, sports accounted for far more volume than crypto’s 4 percent.
  • Volume is not a probability signal: The category totals show trading activity, but provide no prices or implied probabilities for individual outcomes.
  • Platform comparisons are unavailable: The combined figures do not establish how volume was distributed among Kalshi, Polymarket US, Polymarket and Gemini.
