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.
在美国总统选举当天，预测平台Kalshi和Polymarket在苹果公司（纳斯达克:AAPL）的应用商店达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.
事件经过：Kalshi是一家在联邦监管下的赌博平台，在11月5日跻身免费应用和“金融”类别的榜首，而基于加密货币的平台Polymarket则上升至“杂志和报纸”以及“资讯”类别的最高位置，根据应用分析平台传感器-半导体。
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.
增长势头惊人，仅仅10天前，Kalshi在免费应用类别中排名第55。同样地，Polymarket在10月29日前，跃升至免费应用类别的第2位，之前排名第108万亿。

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.
约36亿美元被下注于Polymarket的总统竞选结果，可以说是当前最热门的预测市场。其中约44000万美元被投资在Kalshi的总统合约中。
