Wealth is being reshuffled. Do you want to participate in this wave?
To be honest, almost no one paid attention to prediction markets last April, but by the end of the year, they had achieved a transaction volume of 5 billion USD. After six consecutive weeks of rapid growth, the volume finally reached 5.3 billion, and although there was a slight pullback to 4.7 billion last week, the overall trend has not changed.
If you want to know where the opportunities are, just look at these numbers—
Platforms like Polymarket have grown by 8 times, with monthly transaction volumes approaching 400 million USD. What does this mean? It indicates that where the leading platform is, money will flow there, and the main upward wave is in the hands of the dominant players. Last year’s US election prediction market alone traded 182 million USD, and this is just the beginning. From economic data to sports events, almost anything can be predicted in the future, and the ceiling of this market is completely unseen.
More importantly, regulatory agencies like the US CFTC are now reconsidering their stance, shifting from previous bans to a more open attitude. Once large-scale institutional participation begins, will we still be able to buy at current prices? Certainly not.
So, panicking over a slight dip last week? The data is there, the logic is there, and the trend is there. After DeFi booms and NFT hype, prediction markets are very likely to be the next giant printing press.
How to precisely position yourself, which platforms have the greatest potential—these questions actually have answers. Missing out on the early dividends of DeFi and NFTs, I really don’t want to be an outsider this time.
