📈 Kalshi pulls far ahead of Polymarket

Kalshi has reached $174.5bn in prediction-market trading since the start of 2026, around 2.7x Polymarket’s $64.9bn, according to Paradigm-linked tracking data cited by SportClan. 🏀 Sport is driving Kalshi’s surge, with multi-event sports markets standing out, while crypto — especially Bitcoin — is also a major contributor. ⚡ For the wider industry, this shows how prediction markets are increasingly mirroring sportsbook behaviour, particularly through accumulator-style products. 📊 It also signals that sport and crypto remain the strongest volume engines, while politics is becoming a smaller share of activity on some platforms. 🔍 🌐 Source: SportClan
