The prediction market could offer DeFi a unique opportunity to regain attention
said dYdX Foundation CEO Charles d'Haussy.
On most prediction platforms, users bet on the outcome of events, from sports to politics. However, by introducing perpetual futures, similar to traditional trading, dYdX will likely enable investors to profit from shifts in probability, even before the event concludes.
Augur, an early player in crypto prediction markets, faced challenges like liquidity shortages and high fees on Ethereum. If dYdX redirects just a portion of its monthly trading volume ($21 billion), it could become a major player in the market.
