The segment is still dominated by two platforms \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-polymarket\">Polymarket<\/a> and Kalshi. By the end of March, their combined trading volume reached $23.2 billion \u2014 a record high.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblock.co\/data\/decentralized-finance\/prediction-markets\/polymarket-and-kalshi-volume-monthly\/embed\" title=\"Polymarket, Polymarket US and Kalshi Volume (Monthly)\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The leaders are also attracting more funding. In March, Kalshi received $1 billion, increasing its capitalization to $22 billion. Polymarket is also preparing for a similar move to raise its market value <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/polymarket-becomes-exclusive-data-provider-for-the-wall-street-journal\">from the current $9 billion<\/a> to $20 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, competition is rapidly intensifying. The third place in turnover is held by the YZi Labs-backed platform Opinion, launched in October 2025. Players from the crypto industry are actively entering the prediction market: <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/faster-than-the-fed-prediction-markets-become-a-leading-macro-indicator\">Coinbase<\/a>, Crypto.com, <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/magic-eden-ceo-predicts-a-supercycle-of-speculation\">Magic Eden<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/galaxy-founder-unveils-plans-for-prediction-market-entry\">Galaxy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regulatory Risks<\/h2>\n<p>Despite rapid development, regulation remains a key uncertainty. The legal status of prediction markets in the United States is still being formed. Such platforms are currently <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/coinbase-challenges-state-regulators-over-prediction-markets\">prohibited<\/a> at the state level.<\/p>\n<p>The <span data-descr=\"U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission\" class=\"old_tooltip\">CFTC<\/span> is taking steps towards creating a regulatory framework for the sector. In March, the agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cftc.gov\/PressRoom\/PressReleases\/9193-26\">published<\/a> a preliminary notice of proposed regulation, inviting public discussion on rules for prediction markets.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the regulator also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cftc.gov\/PressRoom\/PressReleases\/9201-26\">established<\/a> an Innovation Task Force to develop standards in AI, cryptocurrencies, and prediction markets. Its participants will coordinate with other federal agencies, including the <span data-descr=\"U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission\" class=\"old_tooltip\">SEC<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Dastan, CFTC Chairman Michael Selig urged officials to establish clear rules for the sector promptly. He warned that otherwise, many companies might move offshore, and investors could face an &#8220;illusion&#8221; similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/greed-and-recklessness-why-the-ftx-collapse-is-being-likened-to-the-2008-crisis\">FTX<\/a> scenario.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My full interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChairmanSelig?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ChairmanSelig<\/a> of the CFTC.<\/p>\n<p>We spoke about the Chairman&#8217;s upbringing, his time at the SEC and now the CFTC, crypto and prediction markets. <\/p>\n<p>Timestamps:<\/p>\n<p>00:00 \u2014 Background &#038; discovering crypto<br \/>06:57 \u2014 Fighting the SEC before joining them<br \/>16:13 \u2014 Why the\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GpGh1D0iRW\">pic.twitter.com\/GpGh1D0iRW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Farokh (@farokh) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/farokh\/status\/2039328645248860292?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 1, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;The story of FTX and other crypto firm collapses is before us.
