Cross-Platform Arbitrage for Trending Events

The bot scans Polymarket's top 5 trending markets (e.g., 2026-07-07 trending categories: US politics, crypto regulation, sports finals) and cross-references their odds with equivalent markets on Kalshi or PredictIt. When the price difference exceeds 3% after accounting for fees and slippage, it places opposing positions: buy the undervalued market on Polymarket, short the overvalued one elsewhere. Exit occurs when prices converge or at market resolution. The report notes 8 bots found executing variants of this strategy, with alpha signals highlighting specific mismatches in regulatory prediction markets. Requires accounts on all platforms and automated reconciliation.
