Prediction markets hit turning point as weekly volume tops $2B
The prediction market reached a turning point at the end of 2025, when weekly trading volume on major platforms exceeded $2 billion, signaling significant industry growth and mainstream adoption.
Previously constrained by regulatory uncertainty, the sector is now experiencing substantial expansion as trading volumes surpass $2 billion per week. Major platforms such as Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless, and Myriad have become essential infrastructure in this space.
Regulation has helped prediction markets gain momentum. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) shifted its stance, allowing platforms to overcome legal barriers that had previously slowed progress. This change also encouraged large corporations such as Robinhood and CNN to partner with these platforms.
Analysts compare the trend to DeFi
Although regulatory challenges persist in some U.S. states, including Texas and New York, industry insiders draw parallels between the current state of prediction markets and the early stages of decentralized finance (DeFi).
This evolution is reshaping the financial landscape, solidifying prediction markets as key economic infrastructure. According to Coincu analysts, the market could reach $95.5 billion by 2035 with an average annual growth rate of 47%, opening broad opportunities for innovation and investment.
