Report: The Race to Build Prediction Markets

Conducted in partnership between Acuiti and Connamara Technologies

The Race to Build Prediction Markets is a report on how exchanges and trading venues are approaching one of the fastest-growing new asset classes in financial markets. Conducted in partnership with Acuiti, the research explores how firms across traditional finance, crypto, and retail trading are evaluating opportunities in prediction markets.

Based on surveys and interviews with 51 senior executives across technology, business development, operations, and management roles at exchanges and trading venues globally. Members from FCMs and the buy-side were also polled.

The research provides insights into how firms are approaching prediction markets, how they’re building the required technology, and the key market structure challenges still to be solved.

Despite the widely acknowledged importance of investment, many exchanges have not taken recent action to upgrade their technology stacks. Less than half of survey respondents had made a major upgrade to their matching engine during the past six years.
