Bernstein: Prediction markets are evolving into broader information trading platforms

BlockBeats reports that on November 6th, according to The Block, Bernstein analysts stated that as the regulatory environment becomes clearer, institutional investment enters the space, asset tokenization develops, and deep integration with retail brokers and crypto markets continues, prediction platforms are accelerating their transformation into broad, information-driven trading venues. This trend is expected to drive growth in global liquidity and mainstream adoption. In a report released on Thursday, a team led by analyst Gautam Chhugani noted that prediction markets are “evolving into broader information markets,” emphasizing that market demand has far exceeded the realms of politics and sports, expanding into areas such as economics, culture, corporate activities, and financial indicators. Prediction markets allow users to trade “yes/no” contracts: if the event occurs, the payout is $1; if not, the payout is $0, with the contract price reflecting the market’s implied probability of the event’s outcome.
