Kalshi's prediction market just shattered its all-time volume record, hitting $474.2 million in spot trading activity over the weekend. This isn't just a numbers game—it reflects something bigger happening in the market.
What's driving this surge? The appetite for regulated, on-chain prediction markets is clearly accelerating. More traders are waking up to what these platforms offer: transparent price discovery, decentralized mechanics, and regulatory legitimacy all working together.
The volume spike signals that prediction markets aren't some niche experiment anymore. They're becoming a genuine alternative for risk management and speculation, drawing serious liquidity. As more institutional players and retail traders explore this corner of Web3, expect these records to keep getting rewritten.
This momentum matters. When trading volume explodes like this, it usually means the ecosystem is maturing and finding real product-market fit.

474.2 million? That's a crazy number, it feels like predmarket is really about to take off.
Kalshi has finally reached the threshold, with regulation and on-chain transparency, it's a good sign.
But we still need to see if they can maintain it in the future, and avoid another roller coaster like last year.

Kalshi sets a record with 470 million... To be honest, this number is a bit crazy, but compliance + on-chain, this combination really hits the pain point.

Karshi has indeed broken records this time... but to be honest, how long can this data hold? It feels like just another wave of the hype cycle.

47.42 billion... Theoretically, this wave indeed looks impressive data-wise, but to be honest, I'm more concerned about whether the liquidity is genuine or just self-congratulation.
