How Prediction Markets Work

What are prediction markets?

Prediction markets let users buy and sell contracts tied to future outcomes. Prices can act like crowd forecasts because a contract trading at 64 cents implies the market is pricing that outcome near 64%, before fees and market frictions.

How to compare platforms

Use the filters to narrow platforms by U.S. availability, crypto funding, sports, elections, macro and finance, or AI markets. Then follow the platform links or supporting pages to compare a narrower use case.

Risks to understand

Prediction markets can involve total loss of the amount paid for a contract. Liquidity, fees, market rules, location restrictions, and resolution criteria all matter before opening a position.
