🎲 On-Chain Gambling Hits $14B in Q1 2026 Despite Crypto Market SlowdownAccording to TRM Labs, the on-chain gambling sector processed $51 billion in volume throughout 2025 and remained resilient in Q1 2026, generating approximately $14 billion


—just shy of the record $15 billion seen in the previous quarter.
🔸 The sector's resilience has largely been driven by a loyal user base with consistent betting and trading activity, even as broader crypto markets cooled.
🔸 For the first time, however, prediction markets surpassed on-chain gambling, recording $36.6 billion in trading volume during the quarter.
🔸 The shift follows a year of strong growth for both sectors in 2025, when prediction markets reached $54 billion in volume, slightly ahead of the $51 billion generated by on-chain gambling.
The data highlights how prediction markets are emerging as one of crypto's fastest-growing use cases, increasingly competing with traditional on-chain betting platforms for user activity and liquidity.
