Prediction Markets Evolve Beyond Elections

[lingriiddd]

Prediction markets, long focused on elections and macroeconomic indicators, are now exploring real-time, event-specific models. Predict.fun’s CZ Mention Market is a prime example, letting users bet on word mentions during live AMAs. Integrations with livestreams and backing from YZI Labs show institutional confidence in the model.

Other platforms, like Opinion.Trade, Coinbase, and Crypto.com, are competing in this space. The experiment demonstrates how attention, community engagement, and public statements can now be quantified and traded, though whether this format becomes mainstream remains to be seen.
