The Texas Senate winner market was the largest non-sports market on DeFi Rate’s live top 50 board, according to DeFi Rate. It ranked fourth overall, with 1.4 million dollars traded in 24 hours.
Talarico leads the listed prices
James Talarico led at 69 cents on Kalshi, while Ken Paxton was priced at 32 cents, according to DeFi Rate. The figures put Talarico ahead in the reported pricing snapshot.
The board observations extended to 5:22 PM ET on November 1. The report was published on Nov 1, 2026, at 5:45 PM ET, making the quoted prices and ranking a time-specific view rather than a final outcome.
Volume puts Texas in focus
The fourth-place overall ranking placed the Texas Senate contest near the top of the board across categories. Its position as the biggest non-sports market also distinguished it within the board’s political and other non-sports offerings.
The supplied figures show trading activity over 24 hours, but do not include earlier prices or volume comparisons. They therefore establish the market’s reported standing, not whether interest or either candidate’s price was rising.
What it means for prediction markets
- Activity: The 1.4 million dollars traded in 24 hours made Texas Senate the board’s leading non-sports market at the observed cutoff.
- Pricing: Kalshi’s listed prices favored James Talarico at 69 cents over Ken Paxton at 32 cents; those prices are not an election result.
- Scope: The fourth-place ranking applies to DeFi Rate’s live top 50 board, and the supplied snapshot does not establish a trading trend.
