Quick Overview of the Four Major Players in 💡 Prediction Markets (Real Money Version):

1. Kalshi @Kalshi
• US compliance king, $2.86 billion monthly trading volume
• Institutions' favorite, cited real-time by CNN/Google
• Drawbacks: has fees, US-only
• New highlight: integrated with @SeiNetwork, SEI/USDC plug-and-play

2. Polymarket @Polymarket
• Global liquidity king, $1.44 billion monthly
• Zero fees, covers politics/sports/culture
• Returning to the US in 2025, aiming for a $15 billion valuation

3. PredictIt @PredictIt
