Are Prediction Markets Telling Us Who The Next President Will Be?
REMINDER - Crypto Investor Day Is This Week!Reflexivity Research invites you to join us on Friday, October 25th in New York City as we continue to bridge the power of traditional finance with the innovation of crypto. We’re inviting hundreds of institutional investors, capital allocators, and entrepreneurs together for the inaugural Crypto Investor Day. The event will be hosted by Reflexivity Research and moderated by Anthony Pompliano. Expect top-tier speakers, plenty of networking opportunities and hours of insightful discussions around the future of crypto across the traditional finance and institutional landscapes. No gimmicks or distractions, we operate our events on an insights-per-minute KPI. To investors, Prediction markets are quickly becoming the talk of financial markets. These novel products were promised as free market solutions to uncover hidden truths on a variety of topics. Given that it is political season, all eyes are on these prediction markets to glean signal on who will be the next Commander-in-Chief. But there has been one big problem — recent articles have surfaced claiming the prediction markets are being skewed by a small number of whales who are placing outsized wagers on former President Trump. This would obviously be a big problem if true. Whale manipulation of the odds could create a lack of trust in the prediction odds, which would eliminate most of the value these markets are supposedly creating. I don’t think the markets are being manipulated by whales though. Castle Island’s Nic Carter explained “it's pretty obvious it's not just a lone trader that's upwardly manipulating Polymarket since all bookies and prediction markets give Trump roughly the same odds. The real divide is between the markets and the press/pundit driven proprietary models, which are more bullish Harris.” This seems like a straightforward way to identify that a single group couldn’t possibly be manipulating aggregators, bookies, prediction markets, and proprietary models. But there is more evidence. Kalshi, which is the only prediction market where it is legal in the United States to bet on the Presidential election, released some of their internal data to disprove the manipulation theory as well. Kalshi founder Tarek Mansour tweeted the following:
This data seems fairly overwhelming. Prediction markets seem to be creating a new data point in the market about the US election. Here is the thing though — if the prediction markets end up being right, this could mark the beginning of the end for political polls. Why is that important? Because prediction markets are another example of free markets disrupting incumbent traditions dominated by academia and bureaucracy. Bitcoin is the free market solution to money. Prediction markets are the free market solution to politics. There will be many more. Now that the technology is available, and an entire generation has grown up with free market products, we should expect technologists to continue building these systems to take on incumbents. Regardless of whether you use bitcoin or prediction markets, it is important to understand that free market products are good for the general population. More information. Less manipulation.
