Polymarket Perps is accelerating - volume is growing every day Total volume for September 16-24 reached $966.1M - the platform keeps growing every day since launch Sep 16 was the standout day at $163.8M, driven by activity around the Fed's rate decision. After a dip (Sep 17–20, $70–82M), volume has climbed for four straight days: $100.2M → $99.3M → $113.7M → $121.2M The late-week climb coincided with macro volatility - Trump's UN speech on Iran, oil-market moves, and a fresh Nasdaq record An additional catalyst: leverage on Perps was reportedly raised from 20x to 50x on BTC, ETH and several indices, making it more attractive to higher-risk traders On the demand side, crypto clearly dominates - BTC, ETH, SOL and HYPE consistently lead in volume, while individual stocks and indices trade at a fraction of that size. Perps' core user base looks to be crypto-native traders, not capital rotating in from traditional markets

.@kyparus was right. His position on United Russia in “Which party will gain the most seats in the Russian Parliamentary Election?” returned roughly +25% PnL. ER was trading well below 100% before the election because this market was not about who would win the most seats overall - it was about which party would gain the most seats compared with the pre-election Duma Now the picture is nearly settled. Preliminary results give United Russia around 355 seats versus a 325-seat baseline, a gain of roughly +30. New People, the main alternative in this market, is projected at around 20 seats versus a baseline of 10 - only +10. ER ended up gaining roughly three times as many seats, and the market repriced to 100% after the election

TOP FIVE NEWS OF THE WEEK 1. Prediction markets are racing toward a trillion On September 18, Reuters Breaking views published a column arguing the prediction markets industry is rapidly maturing into a full financial asset class, with volumes potentially topping a trillion dollars by 2030, citing Bernstein's estimate. The same piece flags a detail on Kalshi: its valuation could soon approach $40 billion, nearly doubling in just a few months 2. Polymarket poached Zora's co-founder On September 17, @shayne_coplan announced on X that Jacob Horne, co-founder and former CEO of @zora, is joining Polymarket to work directly with him on product, starting with the onchain and DeFi side. Coplan admitted the DeFi product had weakened as the company scaled, and longtime users felt it had been abandoned. A dedicated DeFi town hall is coming to gather feedback 3. Polymarket is turning into a media company On September 16, WIRED reported that Polymarket now sends news-style email newsletters, runs active social accounts, has partnerships with Dow Jones and Substack, and produces a podcast with Dear Media. Kalshi is answering in kind with its own deals through CNN, CNBC, and Fox. Prediction markets are looking less like exchanges and more like newsrooms running on live odds 4. Google released Gemini 3.8 Live On September 15, Google unveiled Gemini 3.8 Live and the Extended Thinking version, which it calls its most advanced live dialogue models yet. Extended Thinking can run multi-step reasoning in the middle of a live voice conversation, without interrupting the exchange while background tasks finish 5. Anthropic is prepping an answer to Astra, a week after calling for a slowdown On September 18, Reuters reported, citing three sources, that Anthropic is considering a new model release to keep pace with OpenAI after the launch of GPT-6 Astra, ahead of its expected IPO. Just a week earlier, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had publicly urged the entire industry to slow the pace of development for safety's sake. Reuters notes the competitive pressure appears to be winning out over that same call
