At the beginning of 2026, a major mainstream prediction market platform released its New Year plan. Based on the official poster design concept, the platform aims to focus on three major bottlenecks in the new year: first, the long-standing issue of trading execution efficiency that has been troubling user experience; second, insufficient incentive mechanism design leading to limited participation; third, market perception bias, with many investors still misled by one-sided narratives.

As Web3 financial infrastructure, the core focus of prediction markets in 2026 is whether these platforms can truly solve the key issues from product to ecosystem. Improving trading speed, optimizing reward models, and enhancing market transparency—these seemingly simple improvements ultimately determine whether prediction markets can move from niche to mainstream.
