What it means for prediction markets
- Kalshi’s lead in total sports volume contrasted with Polymarket’s position as host of the most-traded individual market.
- The 6 percent decline describes a single day-over-day change; the supplied figures do not establish a longer-term trend.
- These are trading-volume figures, not contract prices or implied probabilities, so they do not indicate which outcomes traders considered most likely.
