What it means for prediction markets
- The 21 percent decline measures a change in trading volume, not a change in the probability of any sports outcome.
- Kalshi’s 220 million dollars exceeded the reported volumes for Polymarket US and Polymarket individually.
- India’s 93 percent price shows a strong market preference at the snapshot time; the available figures do not establish how that pricing changed over the reporting window.
