Kalshi accounts for the largest share
Kalshi contributed 276 million dollars to the sports total, putting it ahead of the other platforms identified in the summary.
Polymarket US followed with 101 million dollars, while Polymarket recorded 54 million dollars. The figures appeared in a report published Nov 7, 2026, at 12:30 PM ET.
DeFi Rate also reported 633 million dollars in combined open interest on Kalshi and Polymarket US. That figure measures outstanding positions rather than the trading activity captured by the 24-hour volume total.
What it means for prediction markets
- The 17 percent daily increase shows higher sports trading activity, but the summary provides no longer-term comparison to establish whether that growth is sustained.
- Kalshi accounted for more than half of the reported sports volume. The open-interest figure covers Kalshi and Polymarket US together, without a platform-by-platform breakdown.
