What it means for prediction markets
- The 8.7% increase puts reported volume for the last 7 days at $37.5 billion, marking a rise in trading activity.
- Kalshi’s 75.2% share of the last 30 days makes exchange concentration a central feature of the reported totals.
- The figures measure trading volume, not changes in event probabilities. They do not establish how activity is distributed across individual contracts.
- Because Volume Race draws on exchanges’ own reports, those disclosures underpin the aggregate figures.
