The State of Prediction Markets in 2026

The prediction market industry in 2026 looks nothing like it did two years ago.

Polymarket remains the largest by user count at US$1.99B monthly volume. Kalshi has emerged as the institutional favorite at US$5.42B. predict.fun surprised everyone at US$579M on BNB Chain.

More platforms means more opportunities for cross-platform arbitrage. More volume means tighter spreads. The edge is getting harder to find manually — which is exactly why tools like EdgeScan exist.
