Recently visited the workspaces of startup teams and noticed they are focusing on two interesting directions.

The first is new players in the prediction market track—these platforms allow users to make prediction trades on market events. This has become a key focus area for many institutions this year and is definitely worth paying attention to. The second is a new derivative DEX—building on the style framework of perpetual contract trading, supported by well-known compliant platforms, with considerable ecological imagination.

As the new year approaches and following market rhythms, Q1 usually sees significant progress from project teams. For investment layout in 2026, it’s important to select a few projects with solid fundamentals and clear track prospects for focused follow-up. Don’t rush to go all-in; steady participation is the foundation for long-term gains.

The prediction market sector is indeed hot, but how many can truly survive? Derivative DEXs are also numerous; who can break through and stand out?

The predicted market has indeed picked up, but whether the new DEX contender truly has the strength depends on the team behind it.

Predicting markets is indeed interesting, but can it really beat Polymarket? That's a bit uncertain. There are already a bunch of derivative DEXs; it still depends on the team's execution. Just having imagination isn't enough. Q1 really depends on the trend, but don't be fooled by the project's publicity. Fundamentals come first. Full positions are full of blood, sweat, and tears. We're still learning how to be human. Perpetual contracts are risky. Regulatory support sounds good, but actually launching them is another matter.

The prediction market is back to cut the leeks again. The hype from last year has faded, and it's rising again this year? Still, look at derivative DEXs, at least they have regulatory backing. But don't be fooled by the ecosystem's imagination.

The prediction market this time does have some substance, but to be honest, everyone is hyping it up. It still depends on who can make it to Q1.

prediction markets are having a moment, sure, but idk... the incentive structures feel kinda wonky when you actually map out the game theory. derivatives dex number seventeen with "compliance backing" — historical precedent suggests that's just rhetorical window dressing lol
