Forecasted market trading volume drops in February, Opinion data significantly shrinks
CoinVoice has learned that the total trading volume of the prediction market in February reached $23.4 billion, down about 12% from the record $27.1 billion in January, ending a five-month rising trend and marking the first monthly decline since August 2025. The decline was mainly driven by BNB Chain platform Opinion, whose trading volume plummeted from over $10 billion to $3.1 billion. It is worth noting that the authenticity of Opinion’s data has previously been questioned by external sources.
Meanwhile, performance across platforms has been mixed. Kalshi’s trading volume rose to a record high of $9.8 billion, further consolidating its industry leading position; Polymarket, on the other hand, saw a slight increase from $7.7 billion to $7.9 billion.
Prediction markets have evolved in recent years from niche tools to mainstream financial applications, widely used for predicting elections and economic indicators.
