Currently, Polymarket is the only true prediction market.
Looking at weekly trading volume distribution, sports, politics, and crypto-related events account for 35.4%, 25.3%, and 23.2% of Polymarket's trading volume, respectively.

Kalshi, as the strongest competitor, relies entirely on sports.
It's more accurate to describe it as regulatory arbitrage for betting platforms than a true prediction market.
