#预测市场 Recently, several major institutions have been optimistic about prediction markets, saying that by 2026, trading volume will further expand and may even reach tens of billions of dollars per week🤯. What does this mean for us newcomers?

Honestly, I had never heard of prediction markets before; I always confused them with contracts and futures. Only later did I realize that prediction markets are actually trading platforms used to "bet" on the outcomes of various events, such as whether a certain policy will pass or if a specific event will happen. Feels like less psychological pressure than trading cryptocurrencies? At least it's not purely about price fluctuations but based on real information judgments.

In Coinbase's report, it mentioned that changes in US tax policies might encourage more people to participate in prediction markets. This was the first time I heard that tax policies could influence market directions like this. Also, aggregator platforms might become dominant interfaces, which makes me wonder if I should pay attention to some reliable prediction market platforms.

With institutions so optimistic, it seems that 2026 is definitely a year to watch this field. But as a beginner, I’m still a bit worried about doing my homework before jumping in—like how to judge the authenticity of information and how to allocate funds reasonably. Does anyone have beginner-friendly prediction market tutorials or share some pitfalls they’ve encountered?📚
