Kalshi and Polymarket have already recorded about $60 billion in volume year-to-date, exceeding all of 2025.

Sports currently accounts for about 62% of volumes, but that share is expected to fall to roughly 31% by 2030.

Institutional participation is expected to grow, particularly for hedging event-driven risks.

Revenue and Distribution

Bernstein estimates industry revenues could expand from roughly $400 million in 2025 to $2.5 billion in 2026.

Robinhood has built a $350 million annualized revenue run rate from prediction markets within 12 months.

Coinbase entered the space through a partnership with Kalshi, providing access to more than 1,000 contracts.

Distribution is emerging as a key competitive moat.

Polymarket has recently moved away from a zero-fee model.

Regulatory Landscape

At least 14 states have pending legal actions.

Bernstein analysts expressed confidence that increasing regulatory clarity will drive market legitimacy.

The sector's long-term prospects hinge on federal versus state treatment.

Market Dynamics and Future

Sports has served as the entry point for mainstream adoption, but it is not the final destination.

The market is expected to evolve into broader information markets.

Institutional investors, corporations, and insurance firms are anticipated to become significant participants.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup and U.S. midterm elections are near-term catalysts.

Bernstein maintains outperform ratings on both Robinhood and Coinbase.
