ME News Report, April 17 (UTC+8), Citadel Securities President Jim Esposito stated at the Semafor World Economic Forum in Washington that the company is fully capable of providing liquidity for prediction markets but is explicitly not interested in sports event contracts, valuing their role more in hedging geopolitical risks. Esposito cited the November 2026 U.S. midterm elections as an example, calling it "one of the biggest risks facing investor portfolios." He pointed out that as platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket develop rapidly and the prediction market size continues to grow, it will naturally attract Citadel Securities to enter.
