Only trading volume on the final US 2028 presidential election results will count (e.g. Trump v Harris, ie no primary races).
Any real-money prediction market or betting platform globally counts.
I will exclude obvious wash trading insofar as I'm able to spot it (not an important factor in the 2024 election, but it might be in the future if these platforms continue to operate without fees).
I may add more answers to this market if new serious competitors emerge.
