In 2025, there is a surge in speculative betting on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, which offer prediction markets. The bets include political predictions such as Donald Trump potentially returning to power and non-political predictions like inflation rates, the U.S. Federal Reserve's actions, Super Bowl winners, and the performance of Bitcoin. Kalshi bettors are predicting various inflation rate ranges and also wagering on Taylor Swift being Spotify's top artist, the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate cuts, and the possibility of Texas passing a bitcoin reserve law. Polymarket bets are more crypto-focused, with predictions on Ethereum's all-time high, Super Bowl winners, Microstrategy's bitcoin accumulation, a dogecoin ETF approval, and a potential ban on Tiktok. Both platforms use Circle's usd coin (USDC) for transactions. The mix of changing economic factors and political possibilities makes 2025 an exciting and unpredictable year for prediction betting.
