On December 28th at 3 PM, U.S. leaders will hold an important meeting in Palm Beach, Florida. Interestingly, this meeting has also become new material for on-chain prediction markets.
On a decentralized prediction platform, traders are betting in real-time — not on the outcome of the meeting, but on how long the two leaders can maintain their handshake. Yes, you can actually trade on seemingly absurd events like "handshake duration."
This fully demonstrates the creative gameplay of the crypto market: as long as it can be quantified, it can become a trading asset. From political events to sports competitions to handshake seconds, prediction markets are transforming various uncertainties in reality into tradable assets. This also offers an interesting microcosm of risk transfer and information discovery mechanisms within the Web3 ecosystem.

Can handshake seconds be used for market making? That's exactly why I love crypto—the extreme absurdity is innovation.
