Sports draws $7.9 million in trading across leading prediction markets
DeFi Rate ranked the top 50 markets across Kalshi, Polymarket US, Polymarket and Gemini by 24 hour volume in its November 5 board. Prices on the board update every two minutes.
Sports represented 11 of the 50 most-traded prediction markets on DeFi Rate’s November 5 board, accounting for $7.9 million of the group’s $53 million in 24-hour volume, according to DeFi Rate.
The ranking covered markets across Kalshi, Polymarket US, Polymarket and Gemini. Its selection criterion was 24-hour trading volume, rather than market prices or implied probabilities.
A snapshot of trading activity
The figures place sports within the broader mix of heavily traded prediction markets. The supplied summary does not identify the individual sports contracts or break down their volume by platform.
The report was published on Nov 5, 2026, at 2:00 AM ET. According to DeFi Rate, prices displayed on the board refresh every two minutes; that price-update schedule is distinct from the 24-hour window used to rank trading activity.
What it means for prediction markets
- Activity is not an outcome signal: The sports figures measure trading volume and representation in the top 50, not the likelihood of any particular result.
- Platform comparisons remain limited: The supplied data covers four venues but does not show how the $7.9 million in sports volume was distributed among them.
- Timing matters: Readers should distinguish the reported 24-hour volume snapshot from the board’s frequently refreshed prices.
