Crypto found early product–market fit, oddly, in speculation, but much of that speculation has been low-quality and without real-world utility. Prediction markets are different. They turn crypto speculation into an informationally positive-sum mechanism with real-world use cases in aggregating information and discovering truth. Prediction markets will win.

JUST IN 🚨: Much needed clarity on the way.

@Predictefy @Kalshi @FanDuel @DraftKings @bet365 @BetMGM @Polymarket @CaesarsPalace @betway Can't stop saying it, trillions

@vibhu @SolanaFndn @calilyliu

Release from @SolanaFndn crisis comms: We do not condone the statements made by the Solana Foundation President @calilyliu. These statements, while factually correct and extremely based, have done irreparable harm to our gaming ecosystem. As a punishment, Lily has been asked to play all of the current games built on Solana.

Blockchain gamers can pivot to prediction markets.

The signs are clear.

It's built on solana and it's permissionless. Balr.

@WatcherGuru True

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Chair Paul Atkins says "crypto markets and the millions of Americans who participate in them deserve long-overdue clarity."

"It can be used, for instance, to more accurately predict who will win a presidential election and help individuals make important decisions. If you outlaw trading on information, you don’t protect the public — you blind it." Succinctly put. Prediction markets can serve Public good.

@thenarrator All the Verticals soon..

the prediction market vertical nobody is talking about: ENERGY > WTI oil perps did $5B in 72 hours on hyperliquid during the iran strikes > EU gas storage at record lows > AI data centers consuming more power than some countries > shipping lanes rerouting around conflict zones > tariffs reshaping commodity flows overnight every one of these is a tradeable outcome that no prediction market is pricing yet energy is more volatile than btc, affects everyone on earth, has zero retail pm infrastructure and these markets move every single day energy is the vertical that takes it to $100B.

@vibhu Solana foundation> Weak foundation

Strong Foundation > No Foundation > Weak Foundation

@paarugsethi @solana You have to build on solana, for distribution, for culture

yeah @solana is not (only) the payments chain. @solana is the everything chain that is not just built for payments, but DeFi, consumer apps, mobile apps and everything else you can think of. if you’re building in crypto, you’d have to be build on solana sooner or later.

Ceasefire would look good here. Less fighting, more predicting.

Prediction Market Notional Volume hit $5.76B (-2.27%) last week. 🔹 Kalshi: $2.93B (+2.68%) 🔹 Polymarket: $2.34B (-6.09%) 🔹 Crypto(.)com: $156.10M (+27.35%) 🔹 Limitless: $128.13M (-11.66%) 🔹 Predict: $91.15M (+18.11%) 🔹 Opinion: $77.91M (-49.99%) 🔹 Overtime: $4.04M (+2.69%) 🔹 Others: $20.62M (-35.45%)

Permissioned markets do not fit in the Permissionless world of crypto. Let's change that.

@yellowpantherx @PolymarketTrade @trylimitless @predictdotfun @Kalshi @opinionlabsxyz @MyriadMarkets Balr is coming

Prediction markets will become a norm in a few years time. Polymarket. Kalshi. Predict Fun. Limitless. Myriad. Opinions. No matter the platform. We’re still very early and I want to start a closed group for active people. Who wants in? 🤝

@web3xircle Bricks by Bricks.

@BalrFun Bricks by bricks, yeah?

We're building..

Prediction markets. Thought this was obvious 👀

Just came back from monitoring the situation.. The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. And Balr is coming.
