Talking with insiders in the community about the market trends after Perps, there's an interesting perspective: prediction markets might be the next hot track to explode.

Following this line of thought, when the 2026 World Cup arrives, the popularity of prediction markets could see a major surge. It makes sense—big events + prediction demand + trading enthusiasm, these three conditions come together, and market liquidity and participation will indeed take a step up.

From perpetual contracts to prediction markets, this narrative shift actually aligns well with the development pattern of the crypto market. Each wave of hot topics is accompanied by the emergence of new trading mechanisms and application scenarios. It seems that projects focusing on prediction markets starting this year might present quite a few opportunities.

Honestly, I've heard the logic of predicting markets several times before, but the timing of the World Cup really makes a difference. Nothing is more important than making money; only when liquidity increases does it truly matter. I've been paying attention to a few prediction-related projects for a while; it all depends on who can survive until 2026.

Wow, World Cup prediction market, I didn't expect this angle, it's pretty clever. Can prediction markets really sustain the popularity of Perps? It seems like it depends on whether the liquidity is deep enough. 2026 is still a while away, but it's never too early to get prepared. If you enter now, you should be able to scoop up some projects at a bargain.

It's that same talk of the "next hot trend" again... But the World Cup wave definitely had some substance. I need to seriously think about the liquidity in major events.

World Cup prediction market? Sounds good, but can it really last until 2026? Prediction markets are just betting pools with a different name; how long the liquidity can sustain remains to be seen. Perpetual contracts have cut so many people, and now they’re coming back with prediction markets—gotta keep the wheel turning fast. It sounds nice, but isn’t it just finding new counterparties? The retail investors are never asleep. This logic sounds pretty convincing, but how has it played out every time in history? And then what? Without big funds entering the prediction market, it can’t really take off. Don’t overthink it. The contracts haven’t fully cooled down yet, and now they’re trying to hype prediction markets—this rhythm is really engaging. Wait, could the opportunity be in mining or trading fees?
