After the crypto trading platform Gemini, founded by the Winklevoss brothers, released its Q1 2026 financial report, its stock price rose more than 25% in pre-market trading. The financial report shows that the company's revenue for the quarter increased by 42% year-on-year to $50.30 million, and the net loss narrowed by 27% year-on-year to $109.00 million, but was still higher than the market's expected loss per share of $0.61.
The report shows that Gemini's operating expenses increased by 73% year-on-year to $144.50 million, of which employee compensation costs increased by 91% and included approximately $6.50 million in severance compensation expenses; sales and marketing expenses also doubled year-on-year to $19.10 million. The company stated that it is currently promoting business transformation through layoffs, business contraction, and a $100.00 million Bitcoin investment from Winklevoss Capital Fund, and is seeking to achieve profitability.
In February of this year, Gemini closed its operations in the UK, EU, and Australia, and laid off approximately 25% of its employees, turning its focus to the US market and prediction market business. In April, the company obtained approval from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission for its Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) license, officially entering the crypto prediction market field. Boosted by related progress, the company's stock price has continued to rebound recently and has now risen above $6.60.

Kalshi’s weekly trading volume really caught my attention this week. I was checking prediction market activity after seeing some traders on X talking about how fast the sector has been growing again, and honestly I didn’t expect the gap to be this big. According to the latest numbers, Kalshi pushed around $4.134 billion in notional volume between May 8 and May 15, while Polymarket came in at $1.938 billion. That’s still massive, but the difference surprised me a bit.
At first I didn’t really understand why Kalshi was suddenly pulling that much activity compared to the rest of the market. A lot of crypto users I know usually talk about Polymarket first whenever prediction markets come up. It has the stronger crypto-native reputation, more CT attention, and it feels more connected to on-chain culture overall. So seeing Kalshi dominate volume made me curious enough to start watching market behavior more closely.
What stood out to me wasn’t just the raw volume number. It was the consistency. Sometimes a platform gets one big spike because of a news event or political headline, then activity fades quickly after traders lose interest. But the order flow around Kalshi felt steadier than that. I actually checked how traders were reacting during peak hours, and the liquidity looked deeper than I expected. Markets were moving, but not in that chaotic meme-token style where everything feels fake or forced.
One thing that confused me initially was whether this growth was actually organic or just temporary attention because prediction markets are becoming trendy again. Crypto has a habit of rotating narratives every few months. AI tokens pump, then GameFi returns, then DeFi gets attention again. Prediction markets have been around for a while too, but most projects in this sector struggled to keep consistent user activity once the hype cooled down.
After watching it for a while though, I think part of the reason is that traders are getting tired of pure speculation with no real event-driven structure behind it. In normal crypto markets, sometimes price action feels disconnected from reality. But prediction markets give people something specific to trade around. Elections, economic events, ETF approvals, sports, regulation headlines — traders seem more engaged when there’s an actual outcome approaching.
Compared to other platforms in the same sector, Kalshi feels a little less “crypto casino” and a bit more structured. Polymarket still has stronger crypto community energy in my opinion, especially among on-chain users, but Kalshi’s growth suggests there’s a different audience entering the space too. Limitless doing $600 million volume is also interesting because smaller platforms usually struggle badly with liquidity fragmentation. Seeing them still put up decent numbers tells me the sector itself might be getting stronger overall.
I didn’t open any major position myself, but I did spend time watching how volume reacted after some macro-related event markets became active. The reaction speed was honestly faster than I expected. Traders were clearly paying attention to probabilities changing in real time. It reminded me a little of how perpetual futures traders react around CPI announcements, except here the behavior feels more narrative-driven.
One thing I’m still unsure about is whether this level of activity can hold once the current market excitement cools off. High volume looks great on paper, but prediction markets still need returning users, not just temporary speculation waves. We’ve seen plenty of crypto sectors explode for six months and then slowly disappear from timelines.
Still, the sector feels more mature now than it did a year ago. The conversation around prediction markets also feels different. Less hype, more actual usage. That’s usually the kind of shift I pay attention to.
Curious if anyone else here has been watching Kalshi or Polymarket lately. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but the trading behavior around these platforms feels very different from the usual crypto cycle noise right now.
Maybe it’s still early… but it’s definitely a sector I’m keeping an eye on.

Most people debate markets on social media. #Polymarket gives them a way to actually trade those views instead of just posting about them.
That’s what makes the platform stand out.
Built on #MATİC , it transforms real-world events into active markets where sentiment updates in real time as narratives evolve.
Projects like REP, $GNO , Omen, and Kalshi have all experimented with prediction markets, but recently the attention and liquidity seem to be flowing heavily toward Polymarket.
As information moves faster across the internet, markets that capture public conviction instantly start becoming far more relevant.
Feels like #PredictionMarkets are gradually becoming a real part of mainstream trading culture 👀
