The predicted market trading volume first surpasses on-chain gambling, 36.6 billion vs 14 billion—this comparison is quite exciting, but the insider trading risks mentioned by TRM are worth being cautious about.

Crypto news, according to Cointelegraph, trm labs’ report shows that in the first quarter of 2026, projected market trading volume will reach $36.6 billion, marking the first time it surpasses on-chain gambling by $14 billion. On-chain gambling recorded $51.0 billion in trading volume for all of 2025, with 2025’s fourth quarter setting a new quarterly high of $15.0 billion. Despite a pullback in the crypto market, trading volumes in both segments showed no obvious decline. High-volume players account for 0.063 of personal wallet numbers and contribute 0.918 of trading volume. The monthly trading volume of regular bettors grew from $17.0 million in January 2022 to $188.0 million in March 2026, while the daily bettors’ trading volume increased 12 times over the same period. trm labs warns that gambling platforms face money-laundering risks, while prediction markets face scrutiny for insider trading.
