Bitcoin, ether perpetual volumes on Kalshi are dominated by an unusual, repetitive trade, data shows

🔍 Executive Brief:
A single $5,499 trade accounts for 57% of sampled Ether perpetual volume on Kalshi, while recurring $2,500 and $5,000 trades dominate 54% of Bitcoin perpetual volume, indicating a highly concentrated trading pattern. This anomaly suggests that a few large players are driving the majority of activity, potentially masking true market depth.

📊 Trader Lens & Market Flow:
Such concentration compresses effective liquidity, raising bid‑ask spreads and increasing price impact for new entrants. Institutional traders may view this as a riskier environment, prompting tighter risk controls and a shift toward venues with more diversified order flow.
