Stock and commodity linkage hedging, this treats the prediction market as a macro trading tool.

Arca dares to bet legislation with an eight-figure amount; I am impressed by this risk appetite.

The pace at which the prediction market institutionalizes is much faster than DeFi, with regulatory benefits fully leveraged.

If the Clarity Act faces delays, will Arca's 10 million go down the drain? Curious about hedging strategies.

Finally, reputable institutions are providing liquidity to the prediction market, so retail investors no longer need to worry about slippage.

Kalshi and Polymarket dominate, is Galaxy aiming to become the king of market makers in prediction markets?

$10 million bet on the Clarity Act? Hedge funds’ political sensitivity is higher than I imagined.
