What is the outlook for the prediction market sector? A clear look at the current bottlenecks

2026-01-14 11:48:16

【Blockchain Rhythm】The prediction market is a long-term big opportunity in this track, but it’s not the time to compete for the top yet.

To put it simply, it’s still too early. Taking the most active prediction platforms today as an example, only a few players truly have the ability to market-making, and they are all concentrated in sports betting. Liquidity is centralized, and the variety is limited. This is the current situation.

Looking ahead, there are many troubles. On one side, governments around the world are figuring out how to regulate this, and the regulatory framework is still a tangled mess. On the other side, competitors sensing business opportunities are already sharpening their knives. Who can survive in this competition is still uncertain.

Early-stage tracks are like this, with extremely poor liquidity. Once regulation comes into play, everything is over. Bitcoin wasn't the same back then. Sports betting is now the most stable outlet. Who will survive until the end is really hard to predict. Now entering is just a gamble of luck. Once this stuff is regulated, that's when the real opportunity arises.

Liquidity is too poor, it's too painful to get started now.

Honestly, predicting the market right now is a total chaos, no one can see clearly. Still boasting about liquidity being so bad? I don't see any big opportunities. Once regulation comes, it's all over. These market makers might not survive. Sports betting, what can you really play with that? It's really boring to death. Let's wait and see. Anyway, I won't touch this track.
