anyone else seeing this? prediction markets are now the first trading category after the balance chart and buying power sections on the @RobinhoodApp investing tab not sure if it’s an A|B test or rolled out to all users, but last time I checked, the order I saw was stocks/options, crypto, then prediction markets


caught up with a VC today and asked how they're thinking about prediction markets three core questions they're thinking through: - who survives if the regulatory environment looks different in 2 years? - who else can win if Kalshi and Polymarket become the dominant rails? - how many companies can keep market liquidity healthy enough to sustain a strong user experience? last point was interesting, especially given how many companies are building/owning the E2E tech stack themselves overall, they seemed excited by the size of the market opportunity but don't have a strong thesis on durability




The best predictor of success for tech companies, at every stage from during the YC batch to public company with billions in revenue, is the rate of shipping new stuff.

News: Meta is currently building a prediction markets app to rival Polymarket and Kalshi, according to sources the app, currently called "Arena," will be a standalone offering and was ordered up by Mark Zuckerberg w/ @yaffebellany nytimes.com/2026/06/23/tec…




The purest form of trading. Kalshi Perpetuals. Now open to the public.
