Polymarket week down 56 per cent over historical highs and Kalshi down 25 per cent over the same period

On 12 August, Bloomberg reported that there had been a significant decline in trade data on Polymarket due to the lack of a major sporting event or political event to boost demand. According to data compiled by Dune Analytics users, the total number of weekly transactions on its international and United States exchanges only at the end of last month was 56 per cent below the historical highs of June. In contrast, Kalshi experienced a relatively small decline after the World Cup, with a 25 per cent drop in the same statistical indicators。
