Kalshi crypto bets show repetitive trading pattern, data finds

Kalshi, a platform that lets people bet on price outcomes (like whether Bitcoin or Ether will be above a certain price at a certain time), has seen most of its trading volume in these crypto bets come from a repetitive trading pattern rather than varied, organic activity. This suggests a lot of the 'volume' is likely automated or wash-trading-style activity rather than lots of different people making one-off bets.

If most of the trading volume is one repetitive pattern rather than broad participation, it means the reported volume numbers may overstate genuine market interest in these bets—worth knowing if you're using volume as a signal of real demand.

Nothing urgent here for typical crypto holders—this is about how one betting platform's volume is generated, not about the safety or value of your coins.
