Major Platforms Competing for Prediction Market Dominance
-

Two platforms currently dominate the rapidly growing prediction market sector: Kalshi and Polymarket. Kalshi operates as a regulated exchange in the United States, while Polymarket runs a decentralized system using blockchain-based settlement.
The sector has attracted major financial companies looking to expand their trading offerings. Brokerages like Interactive Brokers and Robinhood have launched event-contract products, while other platforms are building their own exchanges. Increased competition is expected to bring tighter spreads, deeper liquidity, and broader event coverage for traders.
