Kalshi And Polymarket Shoot To The Top Of Apple's App Store Rankings Amid Election Euphoria
The blockbuster rankings both platforms achieved were likely driven by the surge in interest in predicting election outcomes. On the day of the U.S. presidential election, prediction platforms Kalshi and Polymarket reached unprecedented rankings on Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) App Store.
在美國總統大選當天，預測平台Kalshi和Polymarket在蘋果公司（納斯達克:AAPL）的應用商店上達到了前所未有的排名。
What Happened: Kalshi, a federally-regulated betting platform, clinched the number one position in the free app and 'Finance' category on Nov. 5, while Polymarket, a cryptocurrency-based platform, rose to the top of the 'Magazine & Newspapers' and 'News' category on the day, according to app analytics platform Sensor Tower.
發生了什麼：Kalshi是一個接受聯邦監管的賭博平台，在11月5日登上了免費應用和「金融」類別的第一名，而以數字貨幣爲基礎的平台Polymarket則在當天登上了「雜誌和報紙」和「新聞」類別的榜首，根據應用分析平台傳感器塔架的數據。
The growth has been staggering, to say the least, as just 10 days ago, Kalshi was ranked 55 in the free app category. Polymarket, similarly, jumped to the 2nd spot in the free app category after being ranked 108th as of Oct. 29.
增長勢頭堪稱驚人，僅僅10天前，Kalshi在免費應用類別中排名第55。類似地，Polymarket在10月29日之前排名第108萬億，之後躍居免費應用類別的第二位。
The blockbuster rankings both platforms achieved were likely driven by the surge in interest in predicting election outcomes.
這兩個平台取得的火爆排名很可能是由於人們對預測選舉結果的興趣激增所致。
Both platforms allow users to place bets on various election-related markets, such as swing state races and the presidential contest outcome. However, only Kalshi is available to U.S. users.
這兩個平台都允許用戶在各種與選舉相關的市場上下注，如搖擺州競選和總統大選結果。但是，只有Kalshi對美國用戶開放。
About $3.6 billion was wagered on the outcome of the presidential race on Polymarket, arguably the hottest prediction market currently. A fraction of it—about $440 million—was invested in Kalshi for the presidential contract.
有大約36億美元的賭注下在了Polymarket上的總統競選結果上，可以說這是目前最熱門的預測市場。 其中一部分——約44000萬美元——是投資在Kalshi上的總統合同中。
Why It Matters: Donald Trump was declared President, overcoming the challenge by Democratic rival Kamala Harris in a hotly contested fight.
爲什麼值得關注：特朗普概念被宣佈爲總統，戰勝了民主黨對手賀錦麗在一場激烈的競爭中。
One notable bettor, a French 'Trump Whale' known as Theo, netted almost $50 million on Polymarket following Trump's victory. On the other side, Harris' biggest backer, Redegen, lost around $6.7 million.
一個著名下注者，法國的名爲Theo的「特朗普大鯨魚」，在特朗普獲勝後在Polymarket上賺了近5000萬美元。而賀錦麗最大的支持者Redegen則在另一邊輸掉了大約670萬美元。
