Record weekly volume, multi-billion dollar valuations, and even the POTUS' involvement? Prediction markets have achieved astronomical growth in the past months, with the constant emergence of new entrants and developments. Here's everything you need to know!🧵
2/ Introduction Since the early 2000s, prediction markets have served as a means to turn crowd-sourced bets into a truth engine, forecasting events and outcomes in a largely accurate and unbiased manner. However, it was only during the 2024 US elections that a single platform - @Polymarket, would be propelled to the forefront of the industry, single-handedly amassing over $1b in weekly volumes.
3/ Market Leaders While @Polymarket has retained a significant portion of market share since, it currently shares a crown with @Kalshi. With last week's record-setting $2.35b in prediction market volume, around 90% was attributed to the two giants. Another noticeable contributor was @opinionlabsxyz, which was responsible for the 3rd largest share of volume - $195m, in its first week live.
8/ Truth Predict Just recently, POTUS @realDonaldTrump's media company also announced the future launch of their own prediction market The social media prediction market platform - Truth Predict, will be powered by @cryptocom, and is rumored to provide users with incentives that will be convertible to $CRO.
🚨 JUST IN: Trump’s Truth Social is teaming up with Cryptocom to launch the world’s first social media prediction market platform.
9/ Conclusion Besides allowing users to profit from their personal bets, prediction markets have become a key means of aggregating collective knowledge and forecasting events. New innovations like @meleemarkets and @gondorfi serve to push the possibilities of prediction markets even further, allowing for the creation of new markets, and greater capital efficiency. As more competitors surface, market leaders will be defined by those that offer unique advantages, while providing users with the greatest flexibility.
