In the past, the prediction market was about who got the information faster.

Now it’s about whose AI is faster.
Kalshi and Polymarket are already starting to look more and more like an institutional game.
Market makers, quant teams, and AI agents are all fighting for the same slice of cake—keeping an eye on the market 24/7, and placing orders immediately when they spot pricing discrepancies.
In the future, prediction markets won’t be a competition over forecasting itself, but over:
Data + algorithms + execution speed.
Can retail investors still play?
Yes, but the opportunities (the upside) are definitely getting smaller and smaller.
