Prediction Markets to Surpass $63.5B by 2025 Despite Risks: CertiK

A new report reveals that prediction markets could reach $63.5 billion by 2025, but face potential challenges from security and regulatory factors.

A recent analysis by CertiK forecasts that prediction markets could expand their market size to $63.5 billion by the year 2025, experiencing a remarkable fourfold increase. This growth, however, comes with significant risks that could undermine their stability and functionality in 2026.

The report highlights several key factors that could impact the future of prediction markets. Primarily, the reliance on incentive-driven trade volume may lead to a precarious security architecture. Additionally, increasing scrutiny and possible regulatory pushback from various states could pose further challenges. These elements may test the resilience and sustainability of prediction markets as they evolve in a rapidly changing landscape.
