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.
