Recently, a signal worth paying attention to in the market is not just simple fluctuations, but rather "rules starting to follow the money".

U.S. lawmakers have proposed the PREDICT Act, aiming to restrict members of Congress, the President, the Vice President, and politically appointed officials from participating in prediction market trading. On the surface, this appears to be aimed at curbing insider trading; but on a deeper level, it signifies that the influence of prediction markets has grown large enough to make traditional power systems uneasy.

Why should cryptocurrency users pay attention to this matter?

Because prediction markets, on-chain trading, and information games are essentially all competing for the same thing: "pricing power".

Whoever can obtain information earlier will be able to price earlier; whoever can convert viewpoints into positions faster will be closer to the next opportunity.

Recently, whether it's BTC, ETH, or the trading heat surrounding macroeconomics, policies, and elections, it all indicates one thing: the market is increasingly not just trading assets, but trading expectations.

What really deserves attention next may not be a single hotspot, but rather these several directions:

1. Will regulation further compress the space for prediction markets?

2. Will funds shift towards more transparent and more globalized on-chain scenarios?

3. Under the influence of major events, will BTC and mainstream assets continue to become the core entry points for emotional pricing?

When a rule begins to be specifically brought forth for restriction, it often indicates that this field has already grown quite large.

Do you think the next step for prediction markets is to be compressed by regulation, or will it compel more funds to shift on-chain?
