Sports, political, and Fed-related prediction markets account for over $270M in open interest ahead of June settlements.
Prediction markets for events closing in June hold $273.45M in combined open interest, led by the 2026 NHL Stanley Cup champion market at $81M. Political and macroeconomic events, including Peru’s presidential election and the June Fed decision, follow with $58.64M and $51.56M, respectively.
The volume reflects heightened trader interest in high-stakes outcomes, with Seoul’s 2026 mayoral race and the 2026 Men’s French Open also drawing significant liquidity. Comparable markets in prior months saw lower aggregate interest, particularly in non-sports categories.
No immediate market reaction was reported, though liquidity providers may adjust exposure ahead of settlement dates.
