Deep Tide TechFlow News, on August 25, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently discussed the prospects of prediction markets on social platforms, pointing out that the main issue facing current prediction markets is the lack of an interest payment mechanism, which has caused participants to lose about 4% in annualized USD returns, significantly reducing the demand for hedging. He predicts that once the issue of returns is resolved and trading volume increases, prediction markets will transform from a "casino-like" image into a true risk management infrastructure, unleashing a large amount of untapped hedging demand.
