Description

Prediction markets, set to reach $1 trillion in annual trading volume by 2030, are gaining traction. Sports are expected to account for nearly half of this growth, with platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi leading the way. Traditional sportsbooks are also joining the trend, with Robinhood and Fanatics recently launching prediction features. Currently valued at $10 billion, these markets are poised for exponential growth, potentially attracting larger financial institutions. This shift signifies a convergence between investing and gambling, with gambling becoming more like investing and investing more like gambling.
