ChainThink message, December 19, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong shared his views on prediction markets during an interview: "Prediction markets are far more than just sports or policy betting—they are, in essence, a substitute for traditional media, capable of generating authentic signals from the market. Policymakers can leverage them to determine which policies to implement and understand the real-world outcomes if those policies were enacted. Prediction markets deliver stronger signals than traditional polling because participants are incentivized to speak truthfully, with substantial economic penalties for lying."
