Miss this wave, and you’ll miss one of the biggest shifts in markets this decade👇 ----------------------------------------------- ➢ @Kalshi is seeing explosive growth in sports-based prediction markets. The NFL season has driven over $12.5 billion in sports trading since launch, pushing the company’s valuation from $2B to roughly $11B in just a few months. ----------------------------------------------- ➢ Prediction markets took center stage at the Truist Securities GLL Summit in Boston, with big gaming operators watching closely how online leaders are rolling out event-contract products. ----------------------------------------------- ➢ @DraftKings confirmed its plans to launch a prediction market by early 2026 in states without traditional online sports betting. They’re expecting better margins thanks to fewer promotions and a stronger fee structure compared to regular sportsbooks. ----------------------------------------------- ➢ A recent analysis shows huge upside for US prediction markets, with a projected $5B total addressable market driven by DraftKings and @FanDuel entering the space. Roughly $4.4B is expected to come from sports-focused contracts and $600M from non-sports events, mainly in states where online sports betting isn’t yet available. Analysts expect both DraftKings and FanDuel to join Kalshi, Polymarket, and Robinhood as part of a “Big Five,” ----------------------------------------------- ➢ Jump Trading quietly stepped into prediction markets, becoming one of the first major prop trading firms to make markets on Kalshi. With Kalshi and Polymarket processing $7.4B in combined volume in October alone, Jump joins other institutional players like Susquehanna and AQR, showing that prediction markets are evolving from niche products to a new Wall Street liquidity venue. ----------------------------------------------- ➢ @thenarrator officially launched a prediction markets directory, creating a central hub for this fast-growing ecosystem. Projects like Kalshi and Polymarket can register, post jobs, and connect with traders, builders, and creators. With over 200 projects already active, the goal is to consolidate the space and make it easy to find talent and opportunities. ----------------------------------------------- ➢ @Polymarket traders confirmed the first 100 users have joined its new affiliate program, marking a key milestone for community-driven growth. Applications for the second batch are now open, with new slots reviewed on a rolling, case-by-case basis. ----------------------------------------------- ➢ @MyriadMarkets hit $100M in USDC trading volume, completing over 6.3M trades and attracting 400K+ active traders. That’s a huge jump in a few months. Myriad is expanding across chains like BNB, Abstract, and Linea, partnering with Walrus to store all market data fully on-chain for transparency. ----------------------------------------------- ➢ Enlivex Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ENLV) raised $212M in a PIPE round, becoming the first publicly traded US company to formally adopt a prediction markets treasury strategy. The funds will be used to implement a strategy centered on @RAIN_protocol, a decentralized predictions and options protocol on Arbitrum. RAIN lets anyone create and trade markets without permission and features AI-based market resolution plus a token buyback-and-burn model. Enlivex says this gives investors direct exposure to prediction markets through a public vehicle. ----------------------------------------------- ➢ The first prediction market on @storyprotocol is live, @MusicByVirtuals. Music By Virtuals lets users bet on pop culture outcomes (like K-pop charts) via NFTs and the $IP token. Which updates did I miss?
