【币界】预测市场这块最近动静挺大的。Polymarket 和 Kalshi 这两个平台在 2025 年表现抢眼，年度交易量合起来接近 400 亿美元。能达到这个量级，说明用户对这类产品的需求确实在增长。更有意思的是，两家平台的估值都已经冲到了数十亿美元级别，这在预测市场赛道还挺罕见的。从市场热度看，预测市场从小众走向主流的趋势越来越明显了。

【Crypto World】The prediction market sector has been quite active recently. Polymarket and Kalshi have performed remarkably in 2025, with their combined annual trading volume approaching 40 billion USD. Reaching this scale indicates that user demand for such products is indeed growing. Even more interesting is that the valuations of both platforms have already soared to the multi-billion dollar level, which is quite rare in the prediction market space. Based on market enthusiasm, the trend of prediction markets moving from niche to mainstream is becoming increasingly evident.

40 billion? Really? Did this track suddenly explode? --- The prediction market is on the rise, it should have been taken seriously earlier --- Billions in valuation, Polymarket has won big this time --- Niche becomes mainstream, the next DeFi narrative? --- So is there still a chance to enter the prediction market now... --- Wow, this growth rate, who would have thought prediction markets could get so big --- Kalshi and Polymarket are driving the dual core, the landscape is opening up --- Wait, is this 40 billion in actual trading volume or just hype? Need to verify --- Mainstream adoption is the trend, but what do the risk regulators think... --- Early movers should be laughing, prediction markets are finally coming to the forefront

$40 billion? These two are indeed formidable, but I still believe the ceiling of the prediction market is in political betting, where the real big money is.

Oh no, $40 billion? The prediction market is really about to hit the desktop now. --- Polymarket is so fierce? It feels like no one paid attention to it a couple of years ago. --- Valued at billions... it shows that capital has already caught the scent. Shouldn’t we jump in quickly? --- From niche to mainstream, a typical Web3 routine—first hype the concept, then see what happens. --- I just want to know how much of this $40 billion is real trading and how much is just wool pulling. --- Kalshi’s compliance advantage really seems to be useful. --- Wait, are these two platforms really that powerful? What about other prediction markets? --- Wow, making so much money. I’m still here talking on paper. --- Finally, someone is playing the prediction market. By the way, is this really more reliable than gambling? --- Things that capital hotly pursue, be careful not to become the next fleeting trend.

$40 billion? That number is indeed impressive, but it seems like the big chunk is still in the US political arena. --- Polymarket has really taken off this time. Who would have thought prediction markets could become a hot trend? --- Valued at billions... By the way, can these two platforms really emerge, or is it just another round of hype? --- I believe in the mainstreaming of prediction markets, after all, they offer more potential than pure gambling. --- A $40 billion trading volume sounds impressive, but what’s the average daily transaction volume, everyone? --- So prediction markets can also be valued at tens of billions, Web3 really dares to estimate anything. --- Is the divergence between Kalshi and Polymarket so obvious, or is the data manipulated? --- Interesting, it seems like gamblers have found a new place, haha. --- Who gave these valuations? Are they really worth that much, or is it just hype? --- Mainstreaming, huh? Let’s wait and see if it gets slapped back by regulators.

$40 billion? That's an astonishing number. The prediction market is really taking off. --- Kalshi and Polymarket's moves are incredible, valuation skyrocketing. --- Wait, is the actual trading volume still inflated? Feels a bit fake. --- Niche to mainstream so quickly, I feel like I just blinked and I'm out. --- Prediction market platforms with valuations in the billions, this track is heating up now. --- By the way, can this $40 billion really materialize, or is it just another round of marketing hype? --- I should have paid more attention to this earlier. Is it too late to get on board now? --- After prediction markets become popular, what will be the next? Does anyone have guesses? --- Polymarket's growth is so fast, are there any security concerns? --- So in the past two years, prediction markets have gone from fringe to mainstream. Web3 is truly changing all the time.
