CryptoRank: Prediction Market Becomes the Crypto Category with the Highest Funding Amount in H1 2026

WuSaidBlockchainW
According to the Q2 2026 prediction market report released by CryptoRank, the open interest in prediction markets reached $1.8 billion at the end of June, up 54% from one month earlier, driven mainly by the start of the FIFA World Cup. The report states that Kalshi has taken the lead in indicators such as open interest and trading volume, while Polymarket still maintains its dominant position in the political prediction market. Excluding sports markets, the latest weekly trading volume in prediction markets reached $3.1 billion, with Kalshi at $2.6 billion and Polymarket at $492 million. CryptoRank also noted that prediction markets were the crypto category with the highest financing amount in the first half of 2026, attracting a total of $1.85 billion, accounting for 26% of the total amount of the top ten financing categories.
KALSHI-6.58%

Kalshi and Polymarket have begun to split the tracks, one focusing on sports and the other on politics. Pretty good.

Polymarket is still holding onto its political base, but its total volume has been left behind.

The World Cup drove 54% growth, and the predictability of sporting events is indeed higher than that of black swan political events.

After excluding sports, the weekly trading volume was 3.1 billion, with Kalshi accounting for 2.6 billion. That ratio is too exaggerated.

Kalshi's growth rate is a bit absurd; the sports market is indeed much easier to predict than politics.
