#预测市场 Just finished reviewing the outlook reports from institutions for 2026, and there's a detail worth noting—the prediction market track is highly favored by almost all top institutions, and trading volume is expected to surge from hundreds of millions to tens of billions of dollars weekly.

What does this mean for copy trading strategies? The opportunity is here, but it also means more participants and fiercer competition.

Predictive markets used to be a niche activity, but now with the DAT 2.0 model, changes in tax policies, and the formal entry of traditional capital, this ecosystem is set to undergo structural expansion. Recently, I observed several traders performing well in derivatives; their strategic logic has evolved from simple directional bets to multi-dimensional position combinations—covering hedges on underlying assets and arbitrage opportunities in prediction markets.

What preparations do copy traders need? First, risk management must be stricter, as although liquidity in prediction markets is improving, slippage risk still exists; second, learn to diversify positions—not all top traders' styles suit you, especially during this expansion phase of the new track. You should look for traders with clear strategic logic and disciplined stop-loss execution; third, pay attention to policy developments—adjustments in US tax policies could become a key trigger for liquidity.

Experience is the best teacher. Instead of guessing how the market will behave, it's better to start by observing the real operations of top traders in this new track.
