Today's market overview

Active prediction markets traded $79.0M in the last 24 hours. Here is what moved, where the largest positions sit, and what resolves next.

Where the biggest money sits

Positions below are valued at the current price. Amounts are share counts; each winning share redeems for $1, so "at risk" is shares times price. Parked capital priced at 95¢ or higher and identical-size positions spread across every outcome of one event are excluded, because those are market-making rather than directional bets.
