U.S. Prediction Market Growth Faces Regulatory Challenges
Binance News

The growth of the U.S. prediction market is reportedly built on an unstable foundation, primarily benefiting from regulatory arbitrage opportunities. According to Odaily, the lack of comprehensive regulations across various states allows users to engage in sports betting through prediction markets. Data from Dune Analytics indicates that by 2025, sports-related transactions will account for approximately 85% of Kalshi's trading volume and about 39% for Polymarket.
Devin Ryan, Head of Financial Technology Research at Citizens Bank, suggests that the market requires robust integrity rules and an increase in non-sports market trading volumes. Currently, the market size for predicting January's CPI inflation data on Kalshi is under $1 million, and the core inflation prediction market is less than $30,000, which is insufficient liquidity to attract institutional participation.
Furthermore, the U.S. prediction market is experiencing a 'fragile prosperity,' with growth heavily reliant on regulatory gray areas and substantial marketing investments. Should regulations tighten or user interest wane, growth could face significant pressure. There is also regulatory contention, as prediction markets often claim to be event contract trading under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), while state regulators adopt a more cautious stance. These legal disputes may ultimately require a Supreme Court decision.

🚨Why is crypto crashing today? Here's exactly why:🚨

Crypto's downturn is being blamed on just about every possible thing, ranging from Iran to the Fed.
However, the answer to this question is actually quite simple when you look at the flow data.
Why is Bitcoin below $79,000? It's entirely a liquidity situation.
As outlined in this chart, there have been 3 well-defined liquidation waves, totaling ~$1.3 billion over the last 12 hours.
In a market where liquidity has been choppy at best, sustained levels of extreme leverage are resulting in "air pockets" in price.
Couple this with herd-like sentiment, constantly shifting from extreme bullishness to extreme bearishness, and the swings become even more aggressive.
It's a great time to capitalize polarity in emotion and price.

🚨CyrilXBT posted on X. The recent market drawdown has sparked fear among investors, but experts suggest this is a normal cooling phase rather than a sign of capitulation. The current market conditions present a better risk/reward ratio compared to periods of greed. Historically, markets tend to stabilize following phases of fear rather than during times of hype. Investors are advised to remain cautious and consider the potential for volatility before a clear market direction is established.🚨

🚨Iranian citizens are increasingly relying on decentralized networks and obfuscation tools to maintain internet connectivity amid violent protests triggered by the collapse of the national currency. According to NS3.AI, tools such as decentralized VPNs, Shadowsocks, V2Ray, and satellite networks like Starlink have become essential for circumventing strict government censorship. The internet blackout has led to substantial economic losses and has made it difficult to verify the number of casualties from the protests, with reports suggesting thousands of deaths during the unrest.🚨

🐋 WHALE ALERT: A 9-Year Sleeping Giant Just Woke Up! ($145M ETH Move) 🚨

Imagine holding since 2017 and waking up today. 😱 A dormant Ethereum Whale just moved 50,000 ETH ($145,000,000). Is this the top, or is a massive rotation starting?

The Sleeping Giant: After 9 years of silence, a whale wallet moved $145M worth of ETH to Gemini. Historically, when "Old Guard" whales move funds to exchanges, it signals a massive shift in market liquidity.

The BTC Conviction Test: Bitcoin is currently hovering near the $86,000 average entry price for ETF investors. This is the ultimate 'psychological pivot.' If we hold, we fly. If we break, we see a massive shakeout.

Smart Money vs. Panic: While retail is panicking over minor dips, on-chain data shows institutional staking for ETH just hit 30% of total supply. The big players aren't leaving; they are locking up!

Whales don't move millions for fun. They move to either dump on retail FOMO or to provide liquidity for an institutional buy-side. We are seeing a 'Transfer of Wealth' from weak hands to long-term conviction holders.

What’s your move? Are you following the 9-year-old whale and taking profits, or are you holding for the $100k BTC dream? 🚀/📉 Let’s hear your strategy below!
