Kalshi dominates November opening volume across nine prediction market venues
DeFi Rate's volume tracker shows 2.07 billion dollars traded so far on November 1 across nine venues, with Kalshi at 1.77 billion dollars, Polymarket US at 129 million and Polymarket at 82 million. The tracker puts 126.0 billion dollars traded in the last 30 days, with Kalshi handling 76 percent of it.
Prediction markets recorded 2.07 billion dollars in trading so far on November 1, according to DeFi Rate’s volume tracker. The figures cover nine venues and were reported on Nov 1, 2026, at 12:15 PM ET.
Kalshi leads the venue breakdown
Kalshi accounted for 1.77 billion dollars of the reported total. DeFi Rate listed Polymarket US at 129 million dollars and Polymarket at 82 million dollars, tracking the two separately.
The November 1 figures represent activity so far that day, rather than a completed daily total. That distinction matters when comparing the snapshot with full-day trading figures.
Thirty-day activity reaches 126.0 billion dollars
Over the last 30 days, the tracker recorded 126.0 billion dollars traded. Kalshi handled 76 percent of that volume, according to DeFi Rate, placing its lead in the November 1 snapshot within a broader period of concentrated activity.
What it means for prediction markets
- Kalshi’s 76 percent share over the last 30 days shows that most tracked trading occurred on one venue.
- The separate figures for Polymarket US and Polymarket make venue-level distinctions important when reading the totals.
- These figures measure trading activity, not contract prices or implied probabilities; they do not indicate which outcomes traders expect.
