As we enter 2026, the global information landscape has undergone a seismic shift. The era of relying solely on static polling and expert pundits for forecasting is effectively over. In its place, prediction markets, platforms where participants stake real capital on future outcomes, have emerged from their niche crypto origins to become a primary layer of global financial and information infrastructure. This evolution is driven by a simple, powerful realization that has been

The 2025 market year will be defined by structural maturity . Bitcoin effectively "graduated" from its speculative four-year halving cycle, evolving into a sophisticated fiscal hedge. While traditional retail "Alt-Seasons" failed to materialize in their historical form, the underlying market infrastructure reached record-breaking levels of liquidity and regulatory clarity. The emergence of Stablecoin Rails  and Tokenized Real-World Assets (RWA)  provided a structural floor f

Open your banking app today and it probably looks nothing like the one your parents used. Your salary lands in an app. FX is a swipe. Investments sit next to your current account.

While the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA)  regulation standardized the operating  environment for crypto businesses by the end of 2024, the taxation  of individuals remains firmly in the hands of national governments. For the Eu

The UK is hurtling towards a cleaner power system, but the path isn’t on a straight line from centralized power plants. Solar panels glint from factory roofs and farmers’ fields. Community wind turbines dot village skylines. This surge of distributed renewable generation  is rapidly reshaping the energy landscape. The idea retains many features: renewable energy produced at countless small, medium, and large sites obtained directly from generators (more accessible and democra

The cryptocurrency market is often synonymous with volatility; wild price swings that capture headlines and deter mainstream adoption for everyday use. Yet, beneath the surface of Bitcoin surges and altcoin dips, a quieter revolution has been brewing, powered by digital assets designed for stability: stablecoins .
