According to DeFi Rate, tracked prediction market venues recorded 597 million dollars in contract trading so far on November 2. The figure covers only part of the day.
Trading concentrated on Kalshi
Kalshi accounted for 559 million dollars of the reported total. Polymarket recorded 23 million dollars, while Polymarket US contributed 15 million dollars, according to DeFi Rate.
The breakdown puts Kalshi well ahead of the other two venues in reported turnover for the period. These figures measure trading activity, not the probability of any particular market outcome.
A partial-day comparison
The November 2 tally follows 5.56 billion dollars traded on November 1. Because the latest figure is incomplete, it does not establish how full-day activity will compare with the previous day.
The update carries a publication timestamp of Nov 1, 2026 · 10:45 PM ET, while identifying the running total as November 2 activity. The supplied summary does not explain the timing convention.
What it means for prediction markets
- Venue concentration: Kalshi represents most of the turnover in this snapshot; the aggregate is not evidence of similarly sized activity across venues.
- Comparison limits: The November 2 running total and November 1 daily figure cover different reporting periods, limiting conclusions about changes in activity.
- No directional signal: The summary provides no contract-level prices or volumes, so it cannot show which outcomes traders are favoring.
