Three separate prediction markets, Polymarket, Kalshi, and Myriad, are converging on roughly 74-75% odds that the Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady at its September meeting, a rare alignment that makes the September Fed hold odds one of the clearest consensus signals across prediction markets right now.
The headline number is the story: all three platforms are clustering in the same narrow band of about 74-75% for no change to the federal funds rate in September. When markets that operate on different user bases and mechanics land within a single percentage point of each other, the reading looks less like noise and more like a shared expectation.

On Polymarket, the pricing for the Fed decision is tracked on its Fed rates market, while Myriad publishes its own token-based odds on its markets platform. The Federal Reserve's own FOMC calendar confirms the September meeting these contracts are pricing.
Polymarket has drawn heightened scrutiny in recent months, including reports that JPMorgan ended its banking relationship with the platform and moves by regulators after South Korea ordered the site blocked. Kalshi, meanwhile, has been expanding its infrastructure, recently tapping a Solana platform for a high-speed market data feed.
A single market reading can reflect a quirk of that platform's liquidity or its particular traders. Three markets independently arriving in the same 74-75% band implies a broadly shared directional view that the Fed is more likely than not to leave rates unchanged in September.

The alignment does not equal certainty. A 74-75% implied probability still leaves roughly a one-in-four chance priced for a different outcome, so the consensus points to a lean, not a lock, on a September hold.
These odds are a present snapshot, not a settled result. Prediction market pricing can shift quickly as new data lands ahead of the meeting on the Fed's published policy schedule, and the 74-75% figure should be read as where the markets sit today rather than a forecast of the final decision.
The most useful signal to track is whether Polymarket, Kalshi, and Myriad keep moving together. Continued convergence would reinforce the shared expectation; a divergence between the three would be the first sign that the consensus around a September hold is breaking down.
