According to BlockBeats, on September 2nd, the combined trading volume of Kalshi, Polymarket, and Polymarket US in August fell to $45.33 billion, a 14.5% decrease month-over-month, marking the first monthly decline since August 2025.

Kalshi's trading volume in August was $37.17 billion, a 7.3% decrease from $40.1 billion in July; Polymarket and its US platform combined had a trading volume of $8.16 billion, a 36.7% decrease from $12.89 billion in July. Despite the overall decline, August's trading volume was still significantly higher than May's $25.66 billion.

Previously, it was predicted that market trading volume would be boosted this summer by the World Cup, held from June 11 to July 19, which significantly increased market trading activity. Meanwhile, Kalshi and Polymarket are currently facing further scrutiny from US state regulators, with more than ten states taking enforcement action or filing lawsuits against the two platforms, primarily concerning sports-related contracts.

According to BlockBeats, on September 2nd, a whale account named "Likes to Go All In.eth" experienced forced liquidation of its long gold positions. This address had previously established a long GOLD position on August 31st at an average price of $4422.3, using 20x isolated margin, with a position size approaching $2 million.

During today's gold price decline, the trader proactively reduced their position by 154.20 contracts near $4311, incurring a loss of approximately $17,200. The remaining 298.05 contracts were subsequently liquidated by the system at approximately $4290.06, amounting to approximately $1,279,000, resulting in a further loss of approximately $39,400. The total loss from this round of gold trading was approximately $56,600.

As of press time, the gold position at this address has been reduced to zero, but the account has not been completely closed out: it still holds approximately $187,000 in xyz:CBRS long positions; its perpetual historical cumulative PnL is still approximately positive $308,000.

Furthermore, the wallet controlled by this address on the blockchain also corresponds to the Polymarket public account "Azen". In its very early stages, Azen bet approximately $999 that the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates by more than 50 basis points after its September meeting, ultimately achieving a profit of approximately $1890. However, this is Azen's only publicly completed transaction on Polymarket to date.

According to a Bloomberg report on September 1st, sources familiar with the matter revealed that prediction market platform Polymarket plans to complete a $1 billion funding round, bringing its post-money valuation to $21 billion. The round was led by 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm with Donald Trump Jr. as a partner, which plans to invest approximately $300 million. A Polymarket spokesperson declined to comment.

Polymarket was valued at $15 billion when it raised funds in April, with DE Shaw and G Squared becoming new investors. Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, also completed a $1.6 billion investment in Polymarket earlier this year. The new funds will be used to attract more institutional users, and Polymarket is currently seeking regulatory approval to offer margin trading in the United States.

The prediction market industry continues to face regulatory controversy, with individual states claiming regulatory authority while the platforms argue that the federal derivatives regulator should be responsible. Last week, a U.S. federal appeals court ruled in favor of state regulations. Donald Trump Jr., a partner at 1789 Capital, currently advises both Polymarket and Kalshi.

According to BlockBeats, on August 31, the prediction market platform Polymarket experienced a major outage. The official status page indicates that the Trading API (CLOB) experienced an "open order read response delay" issue starting around 6:30 UTC, and trading was completely suspended.

The website is accessible and market data can be viewed, but users are unable to place orders. The official statement indicates that a fix is in progress, with trading expected to resume by 10:00 UTC at the latest. Before resumption, the site will enter a 15-minute order cancellation-only mode. Other systems (website, data, authentication, etc.) are functioning normally.

According to BlockBeats, on August 31, during the rapid overnight rise in WTI crude oil prices, Polymarket trader "tetrose" continued to add to his tail-end bets that would reach $90, $95, and $100 by the end of August.

During the surge in crude oil prices from 3:35 AM to 4:07 AM on August 31st, the company completed six consecutive buy orders, adding approximately $3,182 in new investment. The implied market probabilities at the time of these buy orders at the $90, $95, and $100 targets were approximately 3.63%, 1.50%, and 0.70%, respectively; the current probabilities are 4.5%, 1.6%, and 0.5%, respectively.

Tetrose currently has a total cost of approximately $38,900 for its three Yes positions, with a current value of only about $8,291. Overall, it is still in a floating loss of about $30,600, or about 78.7%, with the $95 position alone in a floating loss of about $26,900.

Following the rise in oil prices, this morning, a Tetrose-linked address placed a buy order for 3,618.13 contracts at $88.70 after taking profit on 5,349.14 contracts of Brent crude oil long positions, intending to wait for a price pullback before re-entering long positions, amounting to approximately $320,900. This order remained unfilled due to the continued rise in crude oil prices and was cancelled at 1:22 PM.

Meanwhile, the short position in the S&P 500 established on August 28 remains intact. Currently, this address is fully leveraged with a 50x leveraged short position of 274,773 contracts in the S&P 500, with a position value of approximately $2.113 million. The average entry price was 7759.6 points, resulting in a floating profit of approximately $19,200. A take-profit order covering the entire position has been placed at 7600 points.

Historical records show that "tetrose" had 274 closed positions in oil price and geopolitical themes such as Iran and Hormuz, of which 150 were profitable and 124 were loss-making, with profitable positions accounting for approximately 54.7% and accumulating a profit of approximately US$641,900.
