Political contracts dominate trading as Mississippi Senate market leads
DeFi Rate's top 50 board, observed between 3:39 PM and 4:20 PM ET on November 4, breaks down as 33 politics markets with 52 million dollars of 24 hour volume, 14 sports markets with 16 million dollars, 2 crypto markets with 1.1 million dollars and 1 economy market with 492,000 dollars. The Mississippi Senate winner market leads the board.
Politics accounted for 33 of the 50 markets on DeFi Rate’s leading-market board on November 4, 2026, generating 52 million dollars of the 69 million dollars traded over 24 hours, according to DeFi Rate.
The board was observed between 3:39 PM and 4:20 PM ET. The figures were published on Nov 4, 2026, at 4:45 PM ET, making them a time-specific snapshot of activity rather than a full-day closing tally.
Politics leads by count and volume
The Mississippi Senate winner market ranked first on the board, according to DeFi Rate. The supplied breakdown does not give that contract’s individual trading volume or the probabilities assigned to its outcomes.
Sports was the second-largest category, with 14 markets and 16 million dollars in 24-hour volume. Politics therefore led both in the number of contracts represented and in reported trading activity.
Crypto and economy occupy fewer slots
The remaining entries comprised 2 crypto markets, with 1.1 million dollars in volume, and 1 economy market, with 492,000 dollars, according to DeFi Rate.
The category figures describe the composition of the top 50 board, not the entire prediction-market universe. They show where trading was concentrated within that selection, but do not establish which outcomes traders considered most likely.
What it means for prediction markets
- Political activity dominates this snapshot: Politics supplied 33 of the 50 entries and 52 million dollars in reported 24-hour volume.
- Mississippi is a focal contract: The Senate winner market led the board, although no contract-level volume or outcome probabilities were provided.
- Volume is not a directional signal: The breakdown measures trading activity by category; it does not show whether prices moved toward particular candidates or outcomes.
- Scope matters: These figures apply to DeFi Rate’s top 50 board observed between 3:39 PM and 4:20 PM ET on November 4, 2026.
