Overview
- Investment firm Bernstein estimates that by 2030, prediction market volumes will surge to roughly $1 trillion.
- Dollar volumes on the markets surged in 2024, spurred by the U.S. presidential election, then expanded further in 2025 thanks to sports, crypto and macro/political contracts.
- While a regulatory battle is brewing, Bernstein thinks it’s unlikely to deter long-term growth.
Prediction market volumes are booming in 2026, on pace to more than quadruple this year alone and reach an estimated $1 trillion in the next four years, according to Bernstein.
