Morgan Stanley will serve as a strategic partner at the NEXTPredict Prediction Markets Summit, held in New York from October 22 to 23. Stephen Grambling, the bank’s head of U.S. Gaming, Lodging & Leisure Research, will lead a panel discussion on institutional capital. Pierre Lindh, co-founder of NEXTPredict, said Morgan Stanley is the first bank to publicly participate in an event in this space. Lindh noted that roughly 90% of current liquidity and trading volume in prediction markets comes from sports contracts, and the sector’s high current valuations are built on expectations of large-scale inflows of institutional capital and a shift of prediction markets from "alternative betting" to institutional tools. Morgan Stanley previously participated in Kalshi’s $1 billion funding round completed in May, and released a research report on prediction markets in April this year.
