Political contracts lead prediction market rankings by activity and count
DeFi Rate's top 50 board, observed through 1:36 AM ET on November 1, ranks politics as the largest category by count and volume, ahead of sports with 20 markets and 8.5 million dollars traded.
Politics held the largest share of both market listings and trading volume on DeFi Rate’s top 50 board, according to DeFi Rate. The snapshot covered activity through 1:36 AM ET on November 1.
Political markets accounted for 26 of the 50 entries and 17 million dollars of the 27 million dollars traded over 24 hours.
Sports trails politics
Sports ranked behind politics, with 20 markets generating 8.5 million dollars in trading volume, according to DeFi Rate. Politics therefore led sports on both measures tracked in the summary: market count and dollars traded.
The report was published on Nov 1, 2026, at 1:45 AM ET. The figures describe the observed top 50 board, rather than establishing how activity was distributed across all prediction markets.
What it means for prediction markets
- Political contracts represented more than half of the board’s entries and its 24-hour trading volume, making politics the dominant category in this snapshot.
- Sports provided the next-largest category, but its trading volume was half that of politics.
- These figures measure activity, not outcome probabilities. The supplied summary contains no individual contract prices or changes in implied odds.
