【Block Rhythm】The performance of the prediction market this Sunday was incredibly explosive—single-day trading volume exceeded $814 million, setting a new historical high. Since the beginning of January, the total trading volume across the entire prediction market platform has already reached approximately $10.5 billion. If this momentum continues, this month will not only break previous monthly records but also achieve the sixth consecutive month of trading growth.

Looking at the specific platform performance, Kalshi still firmly holds the top spot, with over $535 million in trading volume on Sunday alone. Polymarket follows closely, with a daily trading volume of about $127 million. However, the most interesting development is the emerging prediction platform Opinion, supported by YZi Labs, which is rapidly rising. Its Sunday trading volume has already reached $84 million, carving out a market share between the two major leading platforms. It seems the prediction market cake has already begun to be sliced.

800 million dollars a day? Damn, these numbers are impressive. The prediction market is really taking off. Kalshi is still the big boss, but Opinion, this newcomer, is quite fierce... Cumulative 10.5 billion? Is it that aggressive in January? Next month will be even crazier. Wait, why hasn't Polymarket taken off? It seemed pretty popular not long ago. The bubble in the prediction market should be about to burst. The growth is a bit frightening. Kalshi's daily volume is over 500 million, while others combined are just over 100 million. The disparity is huge. It's just more gamblers, nothing special... but this trading volume is indeed outrageous.

Wow, Opinion is a dark horse with a fierce momentum. Dare to challenge the top players with just 84 million in a day? At this rate, be careful of Kalshi and Polymarket.

Kalshi is truly amazing, with 535 million in a single day directly surpassing everyone else, but Opinion, this dark horse, is also incredibly fierce. Opinion's growth rate is outrageous; it feels like the competitive landscape of prediction markets is about to change. 840 million in one day? If this data is real, the prediction market sector is really going to explode. Kalshi remains the top player, no doubt, but I didn't expect Opinion to be biting so hard. Six consecutive months of growth? The market's enthusiasm lasting this long is quite interesting.
