Kalshi weekly volume hits record $21.5B as trades top 100 million

  • —Crypto contracts hit a record $2.6 billion, driven by 15-minute up/down markets on BTC, ETH, XRP and SOL
  • —Combos generated $14.35 billion, or 67.2% of the platform's weekly volume
  • —Politics contracts accounted for just 0.06% of volume, about $13.1 million
