  • Barclays Highlights Soaring Popularity of Prediction Markets Among Retail Investors
    May 14, 2026, 2:27 PM EDT. Prediction markets are emerging as retail investors' new speculative tool, with monthly notional volume soaring since the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Barclays analysts said. These platforms now rival leveraged exchange-traded products (ETPs), which use debt and derivatives to amplify returns, in terms of monthly volume. Despite rapid growth, prediction markets still trail behind heavily favored S&P 500 zero-day to expiration (0DTE) options, which dominate retail derivatives trading. Barclays highlighted the platforms Kalshi and Polymarket, whose combined notional volume surpassed $24 billion by April 2026, up from under $5 billion a year earlier, driven mainly by non-economic events like sports. Experts note prediction markets' appeal lies in their binary outcomes and event diversification, making them more accessible to retail participants, although they remain less prominent than flagship speculative products like 0DTE options.
