Debate on Prediction Markets

Prediction markets are debated over concerns about being disguised gambling platforms and potential insider trading.
Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, argues that insider trading can provide valuable signals in prediction markets.
Vitalik Buterin supports prediction markets if incentives align, though some argue this is an idealized view.

The ongoing developments and partnerships indicate growing recognition of prediction markets as valuable data sources. However, debates around regulation and ethical practices continue to shape their evolution.
