According to an analysis released by YZi Labs on social platform X (formerly Twitter), prediction markets are gradually evolving into an emerging collective intelligence network. More and more mainstream media are starting to reference its market odds as trend signals, and this data is often more accurate than traditional polls or expert predictions. Industry statistics show that the total trading volume in this field has exceeded $28 billion this year, with a single-week highest transaction amount breaking $2.5 billion, and the monthly trading volume peak approaching $10 billion.
Since 2025, the infrastructure of the prediction market has been continuously improving: the widespread adoption of stablecoins has injected deep global liquidity, the oracle mechanism has been validated through practice, providing efficient and interference-resistant data services, and the regulatory attitude has also shown a trend of easing - for example, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has officially approved event markets as compliant derivatives. Currently, it can be said that it is a golden window period for the development of prediction markets.
