Kalshi Entertainment Markets Reach $813 Million in Volume Through Sept. 25

Kalshi’s entertainment markets recorded $813 million in trading volume through Sept. 25, 2026, exceeding the full-year 2025 total as reality TV contracts faced questions about insider information and regulation. The platform’s entertainment-market volume was about $300 million for all of 2025 and $43 million in 2024. The 2026 figure covers activity through Sept. 25. Markets tied to the U.S. and U.K. versions of “Love Island” generated about $80 million combined during summer 2026. Women account for about one-quarter of Kalshi users, with their share of the user base up 60% since 2025.
