Polymarket, one of the most active platforms, has attracted global attention for its ability to aggregate crowd expectations in real time using stablecoins and on-chain settlement.<\/p>\n<p>Social media users responded with interest to Tenev\u2019s comments. User Probability God wrote that \u201cVlad knows what\u2019s up,\u201d while account GEM INSIDER suggested prediction markets could serve as a catalyst for altcoin growth.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, PancakeSwap and YZi Labs announced plans to launch Probable, a zero-fee prediction market on BNB Chain. The platform will support forecasts tied to crypto prices, global events, and sports, with all outcomes settled on-chain using UMA\u2019s Optimistic Oracle, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Research published earlier this year by New York-based data scientist Alex McCullough showed Polymarket achieved accuracy above 90% across multiple time frames, according to the analysis.<\/p>\n<p>In June, prediction exchange Kalshi raised $185 million in a funding round led by Paradigm. The Intercontinental Exchange announced a multibillion-dollar investment and data partnership with Polymarket during the same period. More recently, Kalshi partnered with CNN. <\/p>\n<p>Polymarket has demonstrated user demand for trading on real-world outcomes using crypto infrastructure, including a partnership with MetaMask. Robinhood reportedly accounts for more than half of the betting volume on Kalshi and has plans to introduce customizable sports parlays using Kalshi\u2019s technology in early 2026, according to reports. <\/p>\n<p>The initiatives align with Tenev\u2019s stated vision of merging crypto with traditional finance through tokenization.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that prediction markets are entering a long-term growth phase, identifying platforms like Polymarket as early leaders in what he described as a \u201cprediction market supercycle,\u201d&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18216"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18216\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18218,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18216\/revisions\/18218"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
