Meanwhile, prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket are receiving more investment than the entire decentralized finance (DeFi) sector combined. Additionally, merger and acquisition transactions are now matching the volume of seed funding rounds, indicating a shift in capital towards acquiring leading companies.
