Sports takes substantial share of trading across leading prediction markets
Sports markets hold 20 of the top 50 spots on the combined Kalshi, Polymarket US, Polymarket and Gemini board. Those sports markets account for 8.8 million dollars of the 27 million dollars traded across the top 50 in 24 hours, while politics holds 26 of the top 50.
According to DeFi Rate, sports occupies 20 of the top 50 prediction-market positions on a combined board covering Kalshi, Polymarket US, Polymarket and Gemini.
Those sports markets generated 8.8 million dollars in trading over 24 hours, out of 27 million dollars across the top 50. The report was published Nov 1, 2026 · 2:45 AM ET.
Politics leads by number of markets
Politics holds 26 of the top 50 positions, placing it ahead of sports by market count. Together, the two categories account for 46 positions on the combined board.
The supplied figures do not include a separate trading-volume total for politics. They therefore establish its lead in the number of markets, but not whether it attracted more trading than sports.
What it means for prediction markets
- Sports represents a substantial part of activity on this combined board, with 20 positions and 8.8 million dollars traded in 24 hours.
- Politics has the larger presence by count, holding 26 positions; that measure should be distinguished from trading volume.
- The figures cover the top 50 markets across the four named platforms, not all prediction-market trading.
