Kalshi's markets are better calibrated a week out than your weather app is a day out...
The most requested market on @Kalshi isn't about sport, politics or crypto.
Andy Ross, Head of institutional at @Kalshi sat down with @TimMeggs in The Local and told us what it is.

Our researcher @AdMcMarkets on @FINTECHTVglobal, discussing the impact he expects the return of the NFL and the upcoming midterms to have on prediction market volumes.
Prediction market volume fell 15 to 20% in August after a "bumper" World Cup run, but the NFL's back next Thursday.
@AdMcMarkets of @lo_tech tells @RemyBlaireNews that's setting up "a big test" heading into the midterms, pointing to Michigan's Senate primary, where traditional polls badly missed while prediction markets came much closer.

Jackson Hole could be a major test for Bitcoin.
With BTC back around $80k but billions in liquidations behind the move, what happens if the Fed's message isn't what the market wants to hear?

Our very own @AdMcMarkets drinking Guinness and talking prediction markets, what's not to love.
Prediction markets took double what US bookmakers did on the World Cup. Then "soccer" gave them a problem the NFL never does: a game that ends without a winner.
So who actually won the World Cup?
This week on The Local @AdMcMarkets on his world cup report. New episode live now

Pleasure to have you join us!
I've been a fan of @lo_tech, not just from a market maker perspective, but also their podcast in a pub format
It really doesn't get much more British than that
And so when I got the call up to feature and converse, all things AI + blockchain, I couldn't say no
Amazing podcast with the very sharp and experienced @TimMeggs. Very much enjoyed this one.

London’s already dealing the hands @solana needs.
Warming up for the @WSOP Solana Showdown to hit the UK.
Courtesy of @lo_tech & @LO_rence_crypto running invite only office games for crypto sharks (and their favourite fish), taking buy ins in SOL.
@superteamuk is also quietly shuffling something behind the scenes ♦️♠️♣️♥️
London is the level up.

Both @Kalshi and @Polymarket listed identical World Cup markets for six weeks.
So why did the prediction markets finish with completely different numbers?
New report from @AdMcMarkets out today, on what each of them built and where they ended up...

One of the best entrepreneur origin stories we've heard in a while.
This is one of the most interesting chats
@TimMeggs 's had in ages. He's joined by @sax_parabolic , founder of Parabolic , who discusses his journey from getting poached by Elon Musk's @boringcompany to how he's revolutionising sports betting by building derivatives venue @betparabolic to the point he's becoming addicted to it himself.

Extra time and the knockout stages have become "a huge driver for volatility and for volume" in World Cup prediction markets.
@AdMcMarkets of @lo_tech tells @RemyBlaireNews that in the final minutes of a match, odds swung from 70% in favor of England to Argentina taking the lead, all within a couple of minutes on the clock.
