Granted, at today's liquidity levels this remains largely theoretical. That said, the pattern itself is already commonplace across prediction market ecosystems.
Here's how it typically plays out: coordinated funds establish LP positions and generate trading volume beforehand. Once the pool reaches sufficient depth, they execute their main position. The strategy hinges on leveraging collateral to settle the bet directionally in their favor.
It's a nuanced coordination approach that highlights how incentive structures shape market microstructure.

It's the same old trick again, LP building positions to deepen the order book and then dumping, predicting the market with just these tactics.

It's the same old trick again. They call it a "incentive structure," but it's really just big players colluding to harvest the retail investors.

Ah, isn't this a typical "pump first, then cut the leeks" tactic? It sounds simple, but in practice, it depends on whether the liquidity is deep enough...

Bro, I know this trick well. It's just waiting for the pool to get fat and then dumping.
