What is a Prediction Market?

Imagine a market where people trade on the outcomes of future events — such as elections, sports championships, or even cryptocurrency prices. This is what we call a prediction market. Here, instead of trading traditional commodities or stocks, you’re trading on the likelihood of a particular event happening.

In a prediction market, the price of a share reflects the crowd's collective judgment of the likelihood of an event. For instance, if a share trading for an event has a price of $0.60, it suggests a 60% perceived probability of that event happening.
