Kalshi Sets June Volume Record Fueled by World Cup Betting
Prediction market platform Kalshi hit an all-time high in June trading volume, driven by surging World Cup activity tracked by DefiLlama.
Kalshi just put up its best month ever. The prediction market platform recorded a record June trading volume, according to data from DefiLlama, and you can thank the expanded FIFA World Cup for a big chunk of that action.
