#Polymarket预测市场 The hype around prediction markets is really exploding! Coinbase acquiring The Clearing Company, Crypto.com hiring quantitative traders, Kalshi integrating with BSC… Looking at this pace, traditional exchanges are rushing to get involved.

What does this reflect? Prediction markets are evolving from niche geek toys into a core part of mainstream trading infrastructure. Imagine being able to trade the outcomes of global events directly with your BNB on BSC, without complicated cross-chain operations—that’s the charm of on-chain decentralized finance—higher efficiency, lower barriers, and more open possibilities.

The Clearing Company brings together veterans from Polymarket and Kalshi, who are practitioners in the prediction market space. Their involvement indicates Coinbase is serious about deepening and refining this area. Crypto.com even directly invests in quantitative trading, showing prediction markets have moved from "novelty" to "having real trading value."

This also prompts us to think: what is the true value of prediction markets? They are not just trading tools but also mechanisms for information aggregation—when enough participants forecast an event, the market price itself becomes the most honest probability signal. This decentralized prediction mechanism is often more accurate than traditional polls or analysis reports.

Now is a great time to observe this sector. If you're interested in prediction markets, keep an eye on these platforms’ developments—you might find the next Web3 breakout point right in front of you.
