Prediction markets saw a record trading day exceeding $701.7 million on Monday, showing strong growth in 2026 even amid heightened regulatory scrutiny. Platforms like Kalshi led the surge with roughly $465.9 million in trades, while competitors like Polymarket and Opinion added another ~$100 million, according to Dune Analytics data.

The new volume record surpassed the previous day’s high of $666.6 million, underscoring that activity continues to accelerate. Strong engagement from traders suggests prediction markets remain a key part of the crypto ecosystem, even as regulators in the US and abroad debate their legal status and appropriate oversight.
