Prediction Market

Trading Term

A prediction market is a speculative platform where participants trade contracts based on the outcome of future events, such as elections, economic indicators, or company earnings. The market price of a contract reflects the collective belief, or probability, of an event occurring, effectively aggregating diverse information into a consensus forecast. These markets rely on the “wisdom of crowds”, assuming that a large group of informed traders can produce more accurate predictions than individual experts.
