The curtain call for InfoFi seems to be a foregone conclusion. In this wave of eliminations, many are beginning to rethink profit strategies—prediction markets appear to be the new gold rush.

From the perspective of actual users, Polymarket and Kalshi have already accumulated a certain user base, with each platform excelling in event prediction and risk hedging. Meanwhile, the upcoming new prediction platform is also gearing up, attempting to attract more participants with innovative mechanisms.

The core logic of prediction markets lies in information flow and price discovery, which grants them a unique value within the DeFi ecosystem. From trading volume to user stickiness, the next phase will depend on who can establish a stronger liquidity moat, and who will have the chance to break through. It’s worth continuing to observe the evolution of this track.

InfoFi is also expected to fail, after all, the idea of making quick money has never changed. Now everyone is betting on prediction markets. Who will be the next to take the lead? Polymarket and Kalshi honestly offer similar experiences. It all depends on whose liquidity runs out first, then new projects start competing with mechanisms—it's nothing new. Moats? Bro, liquidity is unreliable. The real challenge is who can truly retain users—that's the hard part.

InfoFi is gone, so be it. Anyway, the prediction market seems to be the real deal... Polymarket's user experience is pretty good, but sometimes the liquidity is a bit lacking. A bunch of new platforms are flooding in, but whether they can survive still depends on what happens next.

The prediction market this time is really interesting. The liquidity on Polymarket is still stronger than on Kalshi. Who do you think will establish a real moat?

InfoFi is done, so be it. Anyway, I've been tired of it for a long time. The prediction market is hot now, but the Polymarket approach isn't anything new either; it's just a different guise to continue cutting leeks. Moats? That's a joke. There's no real network effect; it's all superficial. Adding more new platforms is pointless; the key issue of liquidity hasn't been solved. Prediction markets do have potential, but the risks are also significant. Let's wait and see who can survive the next bear market. In this track, the final outcome is that the leading players dominate, and everyone else is just a side show. Kalshi is actually doing something, and it's much more reliable than some projects.

InfoFi is over, so be it. Anyway, that's how it is. Currently, the prediction market sector is indeed quite interesting. It's hard to say who is stronger between Polymarket and Kalshi; the key factor is whether there is enough liquidity. Want to break into new projects? Creativity is there, but user retention is the real challenge. Those who can survive this round are truly tough.

InfoFi is dead, then it's dead. Prediction markets are essentially information gap games. Polymarket is too deep water over there. No matter how many new platforms come, it's the same old trick. The so-called moat is just about who can burn money longer. There's nothing to observe in this track; just wait for the results.
