Kalshi is pulling ahead in the prediction market race, capturing a dominant share of trading volume even as competitors like Polymarket push into regulated U.S. territory.<\/p>\n

From Sept. 11 to 17, Kalshi accounted for 62% of total volume in the on-chain prediction market sector, according to data from Dune Analytics<\/a>, while Polymarket\u2019s stood at 37%. The former\u2019s weekly trading pace topped $500 million, with an average open interest of around $189 million.<\/p>\n

This shows up in the open interest-to-volume ratio: Polymarket averaged 0.38, while Kalshi sat lower at 0.29. That suggests Kalshi’s users are trading more often, while Polymarket’s positions tend to sit.<\/p>\n

Still, Polymarket is building out a greater position in the U.S. The platform has cleared its acquisition of QCX<\/a>, a regulated derivatives exchange, to enter the country again.<\/p>\n

It has also launched<\/a> earnings-based markets with social investing platform Stocktwits, designed to let stockholders hedge earnings risk and analysts gauge market sentiment in real time.<\/p>\n
