Deep Tide TechFlow News, December 26th, according to The Block, predicts that the prediction market will see a record-breaking growth in 2025, with Kalshi and Polymarket becoming industry leaders, valued at $11 billion and $9 billion respectively. Kalshi secured $1 billion in funding led by Sequoia Capital and CapitalG, while ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, invested $2 billion in Polymarket. Both companies have established partnerships with mainstream brands including CNBC, CNN, Yahoo Finance, and UFC.
Meanwhile, traditional financial platforms such as Robinhood and Coinbase have also entered the prediction market space, expanding their user base. Despite rapid growth, the industry still faces questions about the authenticity of trading volume and regulatory challenges, especially in controversial areas like sports betting and “mention markets.” As the 2026 US midterm elections approach, these platforms will face a critical testing period.
