Traders ages 18 to 21 generated about $5.4 billion in activity on Kalshi through August 2026, as the event-contract platform set a default monthly deposit limit for its youngest users. Kalshi’s total trading volume exceeded $170 billion year-to-date by August. The $5.4 billion figure covers activity by traders in the 18-to-21 age group. A survey of Kalshi and Polymarket participants found that more than 60% were under 35. Sports contracts were the leading category among those participants, while event markets also cover questions about weather and politics. An event contract poses a yes-or-no question about an outcome.
