Macquarie Equity Research reports that prediction market trading volume surpassed $50 billion in June. The FIFA World Cup served as the primary catalyst for the sector's latest record month.
Kalshi captured approximately two-thirds of the total trading activity during the period. The platform's dominant share reflects broader consumer engagement with event-driven financial instruments.
