Prediction markets are one of those ideas that sound simple on the surface but change how we think about information once you really look at them. Instead of asking who has the loudest voice or the biggest platform, they ask a much quieter question: who is willing to put value behind their belief?

On the one hand, prediction markets thrive on information aggregation they exist to capture dispersed knowledge and allow participants to express their views, often before the broader public or traditional markets. In that sense, a politically informed trader profiting is exactly the kind of outcome that prediction markets are designed to produce.
