【BlockBeats】The prediction market has completely heated up this Monday. The daily trading volume soared to $701.7 million, setting a new record. Among them, Kalshi alone accounts for two-thirds of the share, with a transaction volume of $465.9 million. Polymarket and Opinion each contributed about $100 million, illustrating the market’s hotness.

What is the driving force behind this surge? The NFL playoffs. This top American football league directly boosted the popularity of Polymarket’s sports sector — sports predictions now account for about 55% of all prediction activities on the platform. It seems investors are not only trading cryptocurrencies but also starting to play sports predictions.

More importantly, the entire prediction market sector has been accelerating since August last year. The growth curve has shifted from linear to exponential, making it one of the hottest applications in the crypto ecosystem. Leading exchanges can no longer stay on the sidelines — established platforms like Coinbase and Gemini are integrating or planning to incorporate prediction market features. From a fringe concept to mainstream appeal, prediction markets are rewriting their story.

Wow, Kalshi is so profitable, one company makes two-thirds? Why hasn't it been regulated yet?

NFL really knows how to hype up the event; sports predictions account for 55%, and that's still not enough.

Wait, 700 million USD a day? We need to check the statistical significance of this data... Does the NFL really have such a strong influence on the sports prediction sector? Bear feels this wave might be just short-term emotional buildup; don't be blinded by exponential growth.

Damn, Kalshi took half of the cake? That ratio is outrageous, feels like it's going to cool down.

Kalshi is really fierce, taking over two-thirds, and this level of monopoly is a bit outrageous... But NFL definitely drives sales, Americans are really into betting.
