Betfair Exchange , a UK-based betting platform, reports total bets amounting to 136 million pounds (about $176 million).
In the US, Kalshi , a recently legalized event futures exchange, has seen over $12 million in user bets since its launch. PredictIt , which has the candidates neck and neck, maintains a significant user base, though specific open interest figures are not publicly disclosed.
Robinhood and Interactive Brokers joined Kalshi as betting options available to US citizens after the latter two won a ruling against the CFTC to allow election outcome trading. Interactive Brokers has reported over a million contracts traded since launching its market on Oct. 3. Robinhood’s open interest numbers aren’t readily available.
