Market data shows fluctuating user activity. Polymarket reported 283,300 monthly active users, down from a spring peak of 750,000. Kalshi recorded 3 million new users during the 2026 World Cup, with $1.2 billion traded on the tournament winner contract.
A study of $13.76 billion in Polymarket trades revealed that 3% of accounts captured 27% of profits. Yale economist Theis Jensen projects this share will drop below 1% as institutional participation increases. A Langston Co. survey suggests the share of crypto traders using prediction markets will grow from 22% to 27%.
The summit agenda includes sessions on market structure and insider trading. Confirmed speakers include executives from DraftKings, Robinhood, Kalshi, Cboe, and Blackstone, alongside CFTC directors David Miller and Duncan Hennes. Organizers hedged the event by purchasing $3 million in coverage on Kalshi's flight cancellation market for a $12,000 premium.
