Polymarket recorded $12.3 million in whale money across 875 large trades over the last 24 hours, according to Rivo. The report was published Nov 4, 2026, at 1:00 AM ET.
House control draws the largest total
Democratic House control attracted the most large-trade money, with $4.2 million spread across 249 trades, according to Rivo.
Democratic Senate control followed with $2.5 million across 221 trades. The House market therefore led the Senate market in both reported money and transaction count.
Winning wallets await settlements
Rivo also reported 186 open bets from winning wallets that had yet to settle. Those positions remain unresolved, distinct from the reported activity over the last 24 hours.
The supplied summary does not include contract prices, trade direction or a breakdown of those unsettled positions. The figures identify where large-trade activity was concentrated, but do not establish how implied probabilities changed.
What it means for prediction markets
- Concentration matters: Democratic House control led the reported large-trade totals, ahead of Democratic Senate control.
- Volume is not probability: Without prices or trade direction, the reported money cannot establish whether traders became more confident in either outcome.
- Settlements remain pending: The 186 open bets from winning wallets are unresolved positions, not confirmed results.
