Polymarket accounts for 17.2 percent of volume alongside Kalshi
Polymarket and Polymarket US together took 17.2 percent of combined face-value volume in the 30 days before October 29, according to DeFi Rate data cited by Gaming America. Polymarket US filed nine CFTC filings between October 2 and October 26 amending seven deposit, rebate and referral programs.
Volume split and incentive changes
Polymarket and Polymarket US represented 17.2 percent of combined Kalshi and Polymarket face-value volume in the 30 days before October 29, according to DeFi Rate data cited by Gaming America.
The figure combines Polymarket’s two platforms rather than measuring Polymarket US alone. It describes their share of face-value volume within that comparison, not their share of the entire prediction-market industry.
Nine filings cover seven programs
Polymarket US made nine CFTC filings between October 2 and October 26, according to Gaming America. Those filings amended seven programs covering deposits, rebates and referrals.
The amendments occurred within the reported volume window. The supplied reporting does not detail the changes or establish whether they affected trading activity, leaving their relationship to the 17.2 percent share unresolved.
What it means for prediction markets
- Scope matters: The 17.2 percent figure covers Polymarket and Polymarket US together, against combined Kalshi and Polymarket face-value volume.
- Direction remains unquantified: No earlier comparable share is provided, so the size of any decline cannot be established from the supplied figures.
- Filings are not evidence of impact: Nine amendments filings across seven programs document incentive changes, but do not show their effect on volume.
