Benjamin James leads Kalshi golf pricing as trading reaches $1.1 million
DeFi Rate ranks the World Wide Technology Championship winner market third among the most traded prediction markets, with 1.1 million dollars traded in 24 hours and Benjamin James priced at 74 cents on Kalshi, ahead of Ryan Gerard at 12 cents.
The World Wide Technology Championship winner market recorded 1.1 million dollars in trading over 24 hours, according to DeFi Rate. The outlet ranked it third among the most traded prediction markets.
James holds a wide pricing lead
Benjamin James was priced at 74 cents on Kalshi, according to DeFi Rate, compared with 12 cents for Ryan Gerard. That puts the difference between their quoted prices at 62 cents.
The figures appeared in a report published Nov 8, 2026, at 6:30 AM ET. They represent a pricing snapshot rather than a tournament result.
Volume and prices tell different stories
The trading total measures activity in the winner market, while the quoted prices show the relative positioning of James and Gerard. The supplied summary does not break down how much of the 1.1 million dollars was traded on either player.
It also provides no earlier prices or trading totals. The snapshot therefore establishes James’s pricing lead and the market’s activity ranking, but not whether that lead was widening or trading was accelerating.
What it means for prediction markets
- A clear pricing gap: James’s 74-cent price was substantially above Gerard’s 12 cents, making James the higher-priced player of the two identified.
- High activity, limited detail: DeFi Rate’s third-place ranking highlights trading interest, but the summary does not identify the other markets in that comparison.
- No trend established: Without previous observations, the reported figures cannot show changes in market expectations or trading pace.
