Prediction Market’s never fail to disappoint. With allegations from zackxbt around insider trading coming out, many projects including polymarket & kalshi were on the toes. Let’s take a brief look over the markets

Let’s take a look 👇

Growing liquidity in football-based prediction markets

Across the last week, football markets (especially European leagues) saw higher trading volume and tighter spreads on major platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi.

• Markets for title races and relegation battles in the Premier League and La Liga drove a large share of activity.
• Traders increasingly entered in-play positions after early goals or red cards, showing a shift from pre-match betting to dynamic trading.

Insight: Liquidity spikes were strongest during live matches, indicating that sports prediction markets are behaving more like in-play exchanges than static betting boards.

Short-term trading strategies gained popularity

There was a visible trend of traders scalping positions during matches rather than holding to settlement.

• For example, in football markets, users frequently entered after first-half goals and exited before full time to lock in spreads.
• Platforms reported higher trade frequency per user compared to previous weeks.
