PANews December 16 news, according to Bloomberg, analysts from Citizens Financial Group Inc. predict that by 2030, the revenue of the prediction market company could grow to five times its current level, exceeding $10 billion. Devin Ryan and his analyst team at Citizens estimate that the current annual revenue of the industry is about $2 billion. They believe that Robinhood Markets Inc., which offers Kalshi contract trading, has become the fastest-growing product in the company's history, currently accounting for about 10% of the company's total revenue. However, analysts pointed out in the report that as institutions like hedge funds utilize these markets to bet on central bank policy trends and the likelihood of mergers and acquisitions, there will be even more "exponential" growth in the future. Ryan stated, "We are still in the early stages; people are focused on sports events because the activities are concentrated in this area. But I think this overlooks the bigger picture. The greater opportunities will lie in creating a broader prediction market around various events that impact the economy or companies." The industry still faces significant regulatory challenges, but analysts believe that the cryptocurrency and options markets provide precedents for addressing these issues.
