Hantavirus Public Health Emergency of International Concern by 2026 priced at 2.0% on Kalshi, on $2.0M traded

PredictionBubbles' tech board, fresh on its Oct. 27, 21:55 UTC read, lists the Hantavirus emergency contract among its traded tech markets, in a health/science category…

A Kalshi contract on whether Hantavirus will become a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by 2026 was priced at 2.0%, with $2.0M traded, according to PredictionBubbles. Its Oct. 27, 21:55 UTC reading placed the contract on its technology board in a health/science category.

A low probability on a volume-ranked board

The quoted probability indicates that the market assigns a low likelihood to the specified outcome. The $2.0M figure represents total traded volume, rather than a measure of how much the probability has changed.

According to PredictionBubbles, its technology listings are ordered by traded volume, while a separate ranking measures absolute probability changes over the last 24 hours. The supplied material does not give a 24-hour change for the Hantavirus contract, so it does not establish whether traders have recently raised or lowered their assessment.

Snapshot limits

PredictionBubbles says its technology board currently covers 56 open markets: 15 on Kalshi and 41 on Polymarket. The largest by traded volume at the latest refresh was Kalshi’s question about U.S. confirmation of alien existence before 2027, at $29.6M.

The aggregator refreshes its data every 15 minutes, although trading on the underlying venues is continuous. The Hantavirus reading is therefore a snapshot, not a guarantee of the price available afterward. PredictionBubbles displays venue prices and does not accept wagers, hold funds or offer accounts.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Price is not a public-health finding: The 2.0% reading is a market-implied probability for the contract’s specified outcome, not an independent assessment of Hantavirus risk.
  • Volume does not establish momentum: The $2.0M traded figure shows activity, but the supplied material contains no contract-specific price history or daily move.
  • Resolution wording matters: The supplied material does not include the contract’s full settlement criteria. PredictionBubbles cautions that related questions across venues can have different wording and resolution rules.

Anthropic's valuation hit (HIGH) $3.0T by December 31 priced at 18.5% on Polymarket, up 1.5 points, on $1.6M traded

Anthropic contract edges higher

Polymarket’s contract on whether Anthropic’s valuation will hit the $3.0T “HIGH” threshold by December 31 was priced at 18.5%, up 1.5 percentage points, with $1.6M traded, in the supplied snapshot dated Oct 27, 2026, at 5:54 PM ET.

The price puts that outcome below a one-in-five market-implied probability despite the increase. It represents pricing for a future valuation threshold—not a statement of Anthropic’s current valuation.

No fresh catalyst identified

The accompanying news summary identified no significant new platform headline in the preceding 30 minutes. It described search results as previously used or excluded material, leaving no fresh reported development in the supplied material to explain the move.

According to predictionbubbles.net, its finance board aggregates prices from Polymarket and Kalshi and refreshes every 15 minutes. The site defines probability changes as percentage-point moves over the previous 24 hours and volume as total reported trading, rather than trading during that interval.

The supplied PredictionBubbles page does not include the Anthropic contract’s individual listing or settlement criteria. The headline provides the contract figures, but the material does not establish what valuation evidence would qualify for resolution.

What it means for prediction markets

  • A higher price, not a confirmed catalyst: The 1.5-point increase signals a shift in market pricing; the supplied news does not explain why it occurred.
  • Volume has limits: The $1.6M figure is total traded volume, not evidence of equivalent new activity behind the latest move.
  • Resolution details remain important: The $3.0T threshold and December 31 deadline frame the question, but the supplied material does not specify the qualifying valuation event or evidence.
  • Snapshots can lag trading: PredictionBubbles says its feed refreshes every 15 minutes, while venue prices can change whenever trades occur.
