US GDP Growth in Q3 2025? (Kalshi - Active)
Volume: $1,280,618 | Resolution: October 30, 2025
The Bureau of Economic Analysis dropped a surprise this morning, revising the final estimate for Q2 2025’s GDP growth up to a robust 3.8%.
While economists scramble to update their models, this stronger-than-expected number paints a picture of a resilient U.S. economy.
However, prediction markets, particularly on Kalshi, aren’t too keen on this momentum moving forward. The market for the third quarter is forecasting a cooldown, albeit a slight one.
Essentially, the crowd on Kalshi is predicting a “good, but not great” quarter. They believe the economic strength seen in Q2 will moderate, falling back to a more sustainable level.
2nd Largest Company End of September? (Polymarket - Active)
Volume: $429,122 | Resolution: September 30, 2025
In the wake of strong GDP numbers driven by the tech sector, the battle for corporate supremacy is heating up. While Nvidia holds the top spot, the race for second is where the action is.
The runner-up race could be a photo finish by the end of September 2025. On Polymarket, traders give Microsoft a 51.6% chance, with Apple trailing at 48.4%.
There’s a broad belief in Microsoft’s continued dominance in AI and enterprise software. On the other hand, people are counting on Apple’s massive consumer base.
The end-of-month window dressing could prove more excitement to this market.
Will Trump Actually Establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in His First Year? (Manifold - Active)
Unique traders: 200 | Total liquidity: M$110,000+ | Resolution: 2026
Manifold’s market sits at 83%, with a total liquidity of more than 1,000.
This is reflecting wild optimism post-GDP revision. The idea of Trump and Bitcoin ties to his pro-crypto rhetoric, and traders are betting on a bold economic move.
The human angle? It’s a mix of fans cheering a maverick and skeptics hedging against hype. News of economic growth has folks dreaming big, pushing this market into the spotlight.

A Manifold market asks if Donald Trump’s approval rating will be above 44.1% a year into his term. The crowd is pessimistic, giving it only a 10% chance. Resolution: October 2, 2025.
Final Take
Today’s strong GDP report might suggest calm waters, but the prediction markets tell a different story. The big money is flowing not into stable economic forecasts, but into markets pricing short-term volatility.
It’s a reminder that even in a growing economy, the crowd is always watching the horizon, trying to price the next storm.
