A senior executive from a leading compliant trading platform recently clarified a misconception in the market. He pointed out that many people have simplified his view to "prediction markets must rely on insider information to operate," but this actually distorts the original meaning.

What is the real situation? The core value of prediction markets is, quite simply, aggregating the genuine judgments of participants. These judgments may be based on public information, on-chain data analysis, or personal experience and professional insights. The market mechanism naturally rewards accurate predictors and penalizes incorrect judgments.

Prediction markets are not designed to encourage any illegal activities; rather, they are built on open and transparent information. This is a key feature that distinguishes them from traditional finance — on-chain verifiability and data traceability.

Sounds good, but we need to look at the data... History has shown us that when information asymmetry occurs, market health factors plummet straight down. Can this "transparency mechanism" really prevent insider trading? I remain skeptical. --- I've heard this on-chain verification explanation too many times. Every major crash was preceded by the same claims. --- Converging on true judgment? Ha, more often it's the accumulation of leveraged positions and the risk of chain reactions of liquidations. Systemic risk is the real main character. --- Public information vs. professional insights, sounds great, but essentially, whoever can make money is the truth... Risk control thresholds have long been broken. --- Let's talk about de-leveraging in prediction markets again. Right now, it's all dominoes stacking up, borrowing rates keep rising, and that's what we should be paying attention to.

They're starting to clarify again, saying it so nicely But to be honest, who would believe it On-chain traceability is a joke, it's been figured out long ago That's what they say, but in reality? Don't they know in their own hearts? I've heard this kind of excuse too many times before

Still clarifying, feels like I'm explaining every day. The insider information stuff is old news; the key is who can react faster.

Ah, once again the media has distorted the situation. Compliance platforms are right; prediction markets are essentially information games, and it's not necessarily about shady tactics.

Blaming others again, talking sweetly, but still playing the same insider trading tricks.
