Prediction market

A prediction market is a market where participants buy and sell contracts tied to the outcome of a future event — an election, an economic release, a game, a Fed decision. Because most contracts pay $1 if the outcome happens and $0 if it does not, the trading price of a contract reads directly as the market’s collective, money-weighted estimate of how likely that outcome is. That makes prediction markets a real-time forecast you can track and compare. TickerTracker unifies prediction-market data across Kalshi, Polymarket, and Polymarket US.
