Prediction markets are heating up: Kalshi just hit a major milestone with $100 billion in annualized trading volume. This surge reflects growing institutional and retail interest in on-chain prediction mechanisms as alternatives to traditional forecasting platforms. The milestone signals how prediction markets are maturing as a legitimate Web3 use case, attracting significant capital flow and mainstream attention to decentralized derivatives trading.

These numbers sound pretty impressive, but whether the real liquidity is there still depends on... Kalshi definitely seized the opportunity in this wave.

NGL, Kalshi is really taking off this time, with an annual trading volume of 10 billion... Traditional prediction platforms are getting nervous.

$100B annualized volume sounds impressive until you actually dig into the order book depth and realize most of that's concentrated in like 3-4 contract pairs. classic liquidity mirage.
