Off The Chain Thursday is back at Atlanta Blockchain Center — and this week we’re diving into one of the most exciting (and controversial) use-cases in crypto: Prediction Markets. These markets let people place real-time, market-driven odds on future outcomes — from elections and interest rates to sports, Bitcoin price targets, and major world events. But what changes when prediction markets go on-chain?
In this session, we’ll break down how blockchain prediction markets work, why they’re growing fast, and what they mean for the future of information, speculation, and truth discovery. We’ll cover the fundamentals, how blockchain makes them global and permissionless, and how liquidity, odds, settlements, and oracles power these platforms. We’ll also highlight the top protocols driving the trend, the narratives forming for 2026, and the risks + regulatory conversations surrounding this space.
Whether you’re a trader, builder, investor, or just crypto-curious — you’ll be hearing about prediction markets all year, so you don’t want to miss this one. See you Thursday!
