Gas price contract stands alone among economy markets in top 50
The gas prices contract is the only economy market in the top 50 by 24-hour volume, on a board where politics holds 30 spots and sports holds 16.
The US gas prices this week contract retained a top 50 position by 24-hour trading volume, with 175,000 dollars traded over that period, according to DeFi Rate.
A lone economy entry
The contract was the only economy market in the top 50. That distinction put gas prices on a leaderboard otherwise heavily populated by politics and sports contracts.
Politics accounted for 30 spots, while sports occupied 16, according to DeFi Rate. Together, those categories represented 46 of the top 50 positions.
Volume without a directional signal
The report, published Nov 1, 2026 · 1:15 AM ET, provides a snapshot of trading activity. The supplied material does not include the gas contract’s exact ranking, market price, implied probability or resolution criteria.
The 175,000 dollars in turnover therefore establishes the contract’s relative visibility, but does not show whether traders expected US gas prices to rise or fall.
What it means for prediction markets
- Economy exposure was narrow: Gas prices supplied the only economy contract in the top 50 by 24-hour volume.
- Politics and sports dominated: Their combined 46 spots show how concentrated the leaderboard was in those two categories.
- Volume is not a forecast: Without pricing or contract terms, the reported turnover cannot establish the market’s expected gas-price outcome.
