**[Record-breaking trading volume in prediction markets, reaching approximately $702 million in a single day]**
Odaily Planet Daily News: Despite recent regulatory scrutiny, activity in prediction markets has not slowed down. On Monday, the single-day trading volume in prediction markets reached approximately $701.7 million (around $702 million), setting a new historical record. Data sources indicate that Kalshi accounted for approximately $465.9 million, about two-thirds of the total, while competing platforms Polymarket and Opinion collectively contributed around $100 million in trading volume.
Prediction markets have remained highly popular in recent years, becoming one of the fastest-growing infrastructure products in the crypto space, with trading volume and adoption expected to grow significantly by 2025. Kalshi, one of the major prediction markets in the United States, generates the bulk of its revenue from contracts related to traditional sports events and has established partnerships with mainstream media outlets.
Despite regulatory focus on the industry (such as discussions around insider trading), prediction markets continue to attract traders and institutional participants, driving total volume steadily upward. (Cointelegraph)
