1/ Prediction markets are breaking into the mainstream. Polymarket and Kalshi are leading the category, and a broader ecosystem is emerging on crypto rails. We published an industry primer on what prediction markets are, and how we are powering what's being built next 👇
2/ At their core, prediction markets turn belief into price. Instead of asking what people think will happen, they ask what people are willing to stake. Prices update in real time as information changes, often faster and more accurately than polls or expert forecasts.
3/ Why onchain? Prediction markets predate crypto by centuries. What crypto changes isn’t whether they work; it’s how well they work: ◆ global participation ◆ instant settlement ◆ programmable markets ◆ transparent resolution
4/ The category leaders today: 🟦 Polymarket: crypto-native, permissionless, global 🟢 Kalshi: CFTC-regulated, US-based, compliance-first Different constraints, different designs. Both now exposing liquidity to builders via builder codes.
5/ Builder programs mean teams no longer need to bootstrap markets from scratch. Some are building net-new prediction markets. Others are building new interfaces, tools, and experiences on top of existing liquidity. Time to market is accelerating.
6/ Here are 5 prediction market projects we’re paying attention to: 1️⃣ @theclearingco Building a stablecoin-native clearinghouse for prediction markets. Filed to become a CFTC-registered DCO to bring regulated, onchain clearing infrastructure to the category.
7/ 2️⃣ @opinionlabsxyz A macro-focused prediction exchange positioning itself as a “people’s terminal.” Turns economic signals into tradable markets using onchain infrastructure, AI-assisted oracles, and DeFi composability.
8/ 3️⃣ @trylimitless An onchain prediction market on Base focused on high-frequency, short-duration markets. Emphasizes continuous trading, binary outcomes, and fast price discovery across crypto and traditional assets.
9/ 4️⃣ @MyriadMarkets A high-volume, social-first prediction market protocol with $100M+ in USDC trading volume. Expanding across multiple chains and positioning itself as both a consumer platform and underlying infrastructure.
10/
@MyriadMarkets 10/ 5️⃣ @predictdotfun A prediction market on BNB Chain covering politics, crypto, sports, and more. Supports binary and multi-outcome markets, with an emphasis on accessibility, education, and hybrid AI + human resolution.
@MyriadMarkets @predictdotfun 11/ Prediction markets need consumer-grade UX. Wallets are the account layer where collateral lives and bets settle. Privy helps teams ship with fast onboarding, familiar auth, and secure wallets, whether net-new or built on Polymarket or Kalshi liquidity.
