Prediction markets are moving from the fringes of finance and entering the mainstream. Platforms that allow users to trade on the probability of real-world events, from elections to economic indicators, have seen a surge in both trading volume and investor interest, reflecting growing demand for market-based forecasting. That momentum is expected to continue according to CNBC. Industry analysts project the category could scale to $1 trillion in annual trading volume by 2030, underscoring its potential to emerge as a meaningful new asset class and an increasingly relevant category for investors.
March 27 (Reuters) - Intercontinental Exchange said on Friday it had invested $600 million in prediction markets platform Polymarket, as the New York Stock Exchange parent expands into the fast-growing event-based trading segment.
Fortune reported that Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan backed a new prediction-market VC fund and said Polymarket was eyeing a $20 billion valuation. ([fortune.com](https://fortune.com/2026/03/23/kalshi-polymarket-5cc-capital-prediction-market-fund-raise/?utm_source=openai))
Kalshi and Polymarket, the leading platforms in the burgeoning prediction market industry, are each pursuing funding rounds that could value them at approximately $20 billion—double their last valuations.
