TREE NEWS reports: Prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket are pricing a 75% chance of a Democratic sweep in the US midterms, including key crypto races, just days after the same markets misjudged Brazil’s runoff. The pricing reflects traders’ current odds on the November contests, with the platforms’ recent miss in Brazil drawing scrutiny to their reliability.
Kalshi, Polymarket price 75% chance of Democratic sweep in midterms
The significance here is less the 75% figure itself than the timing: these markets are being asked to carry political-forecasting credibility right after a high-profile miss in Brazil. That matters to anyone using prediction-market odds as a read on crypto-relevant races, since the same platforms now double as an informal polling signal for the industry's policy stakes. The open question is whether traders treat the Brazil outcome as noise or as a reason to discount these prices, and whether the gap between Kalshi and Polymarket stays narrow as November approaches.
