What a fascinating pod. This stat is pretty remarkable: 66% of all tradFi firms surveyed are highly involved with DeFi or actively developing in the industry right now. Even more impressive is that the majority of these firms rank Prediction Markets as their highest interest area after tokenization, stablecoins, and DEXs!! That's pretty impressive company for PMs to be in given the market size and TAM of the other high priority DeFi sectors compared to where Prediction Markets are today 🤯
