According to Theblock, the analyst team at research and brokerage firm Bernstein predicts that by 2030, the annual trading volume of prediction markets will reach $1 trillion, citing reasons such as regulatory clarity, mainstream distribution partnerships, and structural liquidity advantages compared to the traditional gaming market.

It is reported that the trading volume of Kalshi and Polymarket has reached a total of $60 billion so far this year, with analysts expecting the trading volume to reach $240 billion by 2026 and maintain an 80% compound annual growth rate by the end of 2030.

Sports betting contracts currently account for up to 62% of the trading volume in prediction markets, but analysts predict that this proportion may slow to around 31% by the end of 2030, as cryptocurrency, macroeconomic, political, and economic contracts will become larger long-term opportunities. They stated that sports events are just the entry point, not the ultimate goal.
