On February 14, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin took to Twitter (X) to voice concerns about the current state of prediction markets. “Lately, I’ve been worried about where prediction markets stand today,” he wrote. “While trading volumes are high enough for meaningful bets—with some even making this a full-time gig, and the space supplementing news to an extent—the overreliance on short-term crypto prices, sports/entertainment, and other dopamine-fueled activities lacks long-term value.
