NFL week one, and sports is still ~90% of Kalshi volume.

Kalshi lists hundreds of thousands of markets. Most of the money is still on sports. After the 2025–26 NFL season, sports has hovered around 90% of traded volume.

That is not a bug. Sports contracts turn over daily, have clear rules, and attract the same flow that used to sit in sportsbooks — except the venue is a CFTC-regulated exchange.

If you came for Fed funds or elections, the books are still there. They are just quieter between prints. Spreads widen, size is smaller, and a market order will punish you.

Trade sports if you have a real edge on lines. Trade macro if you can wait. Mixing the two in one account is fine; mixing the two in one brain usually is not.
