Gate Founder Dr. Han: The prediction market is essentially an information pricing tool, with the potential to evolve into a new generation of market infrastructure.

Crypto news, April 20th, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han stated in an interview with the media at the Rosewood Hotel in Hong Kong that the prediction market appears to be a new trading category on the surface, but its underlying logic is closer to an “information pricing” tool. Users express their judgments on event outcomes through trading, which not only forms trading behavior but also continuously generates collective probability consensus, transforming real-world information flows into data that can be priced and verified by the market. Dr. Han believes that the significance of prediction markets for exchanges is not only to enrich product offerings but also to expand user participation dimensions, extending from simply trading assets to judging events themselves. In the long term, as infrastructure continues to improve, prediction markets have the potential to evolve from short-term hot topics into something akin to “information infrastructure,” serving as an important conduit connecting information and capital. Currently, users can directly access prediction markets through the Gate App, entering the Polymarket page from the platform’s homepage Alpha, and participate in event predictions using USDT within their exchange account. Gate will continue to promote the integration of trading ecosystems and prediction markets, expanding users’ market participation experience.
