Prediction markets are set to hit $95.5 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR near 47%. In 2025, platforms like Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless, and Myriad saw weekly trading volumes top $2 billion. The 2024 U.S. election boosted liquidity and crypto markets, with Polymarket predicting Trump’s win. Regulatory hurdles emerged, including a French ban and FBI probe, but the CFTC later allowed Kalshi to operate. Robinhood partnered with Kalshi for NCAA markets, while MiCA (EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) looms as a key regulatory factor. Polymarket’s $112 million QCX buy and $2 billion ICE investment valued it at $9 billion.
