Predictive markets are interesting in the Web3 ecosystem, simply put, they bring the logic of traditional lotteries and casinos onto the blockchain. But don’t be fooled by their "gambling" nature; these things definitely have a market.

The key lies in application scenarios. Sports event predictions are a breakout point—especially during periods of major tournaments when user engagement spikes dramatically. Take the World Cup as an example: each match can generate a wave of trading volume, and as the tournament progresses and the stakes get higher, prediction orders for those critical moments, like the final shot, become particularly active.

Many are already laying out in this area. The innovative logic of oracle and prediction protocols is here—settling outcomes through verifiable on-chain information, giving users confidence in the results. As the infrastructure for this track becomes more mature, evolving from niche gameplay to mainstream applications, it’s only a matter of time.
