Home › Glossary › Prediction market
A prediction market is an exchange where people buy and sell contracts whose value depends on whether a future event happens. A contract that pays $1 if the event happens trades between 0 and 1 dollar, so its price reads as the crowd's estimate of the probability.
Polymarket is a prediction market: each question has shares that pay $1 if the outcome happens and $0 if not. The international Polymarket.com and the CFTC-regulated Polymarket US are separate products [1][2].
