Summary
Kalshi's August trading volume fell 7.3% month-over-month to $37.17 billion, the first monthly decline in over a year. Combined with Polymarket, total prediction market volume dropped 14.5% to $45.33 billion. The decline follows a surge driven by the World Cup in June and July, and volumes remain well above May's $25.66 billion. Both platforms are increasing marketing ahead of the NFL season starting September 9, which could reverse the trend. This is the first concrete sign of cooling after months of explosive growth, and traders will watch whether the NFL season reignites volume.
