Sports contracts occupy 32 of the 50 most traded prediction markets on the DeFi Rate board, according to DeFi Rate. The figures place sports at the center of activity in that ranking.
Sports generated 11 million dollars of the 17 million dollars traded over 24 hours across Kalshi, Polymarket US, Polymarket and Gemini, according to the summary published Nov 8, 2026 · 2:30 AM ET.
Sports lead by count and volume
The figures show sports accounting for a majority of both the markets in the top-50 ranking and the reported trading volume. That distinguishes the category’s presence on the board from its contribution to turnover.
The supplied summary does not break down volume by platform or individual contract. It therefore does not establish which venue or sporting event contributed most to the totals.
What it means for prediction markets
- Activity is concentrated in sports: The category holds 32 of the 50 leading positions and accounts for 11 million dollars of the reported 17 million dollars in turnover.
- Platform comparisons remain limited: The combined figures cover Kalshi, Polymarket US, Polymarket and Gemini, but provide no venue-level split.
- The snapshot is time-bound: A 24-hour volume total does not establish whether this pattern persists over longer periods.
