Fabian Dori from Sygnum Bank (a crypto bank) claims that prediction markets have ceased to be secondary during periods of geopolitical tension. Professional analysts are increasingly using them to assess macroeconomic risks. Throughout the Iranian conflict, prediction markets have responded to events faster than financial media coverage. Dori emphasized that analysts no longer question whether to implement the technology. The main issue is how to do it in the most beneficial way. Previously, ARK Invest incorporated data from Kalshi for investment decisions. According to Dune, prediction markets have conducted 764.2 million transactions worth $163.5 billion.
