The prediction market track is indeed heating up. From an application perspective, these projects have already demonstrated the potential for real-world implementation—not just conceptual hype, but genuinely addressing the needs of information aggregation and risk hedging. The rising market enthusiasm is also evident, with attention continuously increasing.

What is the core value of these products? They provide a mechanism for participants to express opinions and hedge risks by predicting events. Whether it's political, sports, or financial event predictions, they are validating the business model of this track.

From the current ecosystem development, the prediction market sector is attracting more and more developers and capital. This reflects the market's desire for innovative applications of non-financial derivatives. If this direction can continue to iterate and optimize, the future potential is quite significant.

Prediction markets are getting popular, but to be honest, the ones who can really make money are still those who understand information asymmetry. --- New track, new imagination space, but in the end, it still depends on whose predictions are more accurate. --- Hedging risk? Ha, that word sounds nice, but in reality, it's just gambling with a different name. --- When capital rushes in, you need to be cautious. This kind of hype is often the most dangerous time. --- It's interesting, but I still want to see which projects will survive after six months. --- Prediction markets are essentially information games; the more asymmetric the information, the easier it is to make money. --- Ecosystem development? Developer attention? Sounds like another round of fundraising is about to start.

Sounds like another round of "imagination space" stories... Actual implementation? Well, I think it's mostly big funds looking for new ways to cut leeks.

The prediction market is really popular, but the key still depends on who can come up with creative ideas. It's really just a gamble in the era of information asymmetry; this kind of thing should have existed a long time ago. This track hasn't been thoroughly explored before, but now it finally looks a bit promising. However, further observation is needed.

Prediction markets are indeed quite interesting now, finally not just pure concepts. --- Basically, it's just gamblers finding a legitimate way to cover their bets, haha. --- How far this round can go depends on whether on-chain liquidity can be built up; currently, it's still a bit虚. --- Non-financial derivatives sound high-end, but in reality, it's still a game of information asymmetry. --- Feels like we're about to get cut again, but the track logic really isn't a problem. --- I'm optimistic about political predictions; they're much more reliable than sports. --- The imagination space is large, but where are the truly profitable projects? --- Developers are flocking in; are rug pulls far behind? --- Anyone with a hand can make prediction markets, and that's the biggest problem. --- Hedging risks sounds good, but in reality, it's just a different way of gambling.
