Prediction market platforms allow participants to trade and hedge contracts tied to the outcomes of future real-world events, including political races, economic indicators, and cultural milestones. They cater to retail forecasters, institutional liquidity providers, and developers building event-driven applications. Unlike conventional financial exchanges or traditional sportsbooks, these platforms crowdsource probabilities into tradable shares that reflect the collective likelihood of an event occurring.
