In its second-half Financial Stability Report released on December 23, the Bank of Korea stated that the correlation between virtual assets and traditional financial markets is strengthening as the global virtual asset market becomes more institutionalized. The report analyzes that, driven by factors such as increased participation from corporate and institutional investors and the launch of spot ETFs, the synchronicity between virtual asset price fluctuations and the stock market is becoming increasingly significant. Spillover effect analysis shows that shocks from the virtual asset market can affect traditional financial markets, especially during periods of macroeconomic shocks or monetary policy shifts. The report believes that in South Korea, due to the prohibition of corporate participation and restrictions on the issuance of financial products, the current spillover effect is at a low level, and the market structure remains dominated by individual investors. However, the Bank of Korea points out that if South Korea further institutionalizes virtual assets, the connection between virtual assets and traditional financial markets will expand, forming a shock transmission path. Therefore, during the institutionalization process, it is essential to establish a system capable of managing the potential risks brought about by synchronization within an acceptable level.

According to PANews, Joey, the co-founder of Augur, one of the earliest prediction markets in the crypto space, shared his insights on the evolution of prediction markets. In a recent interview, he discussed the successes and failures of these markets. Joey identified three major challenges faced by Augur in its early days: low liquidity, poor user experience, and regulatory uncertainty. These issues hindered the alignment of the product with the market. He noted that while Augur demonstrated the potential of crypto-native innovation, it also highlighted the gap between concept and practicality. Ten years ago, the focus was on 'innovation theater,' but now there is a need to address real-world demands. He emphasized that the key lessons for prediction markets include solving the 'oracle problem' (real-world data input) and lowering user barriers, rather than relying solely on decentralization. Founders should avoid 'premature decentralization' by first developing centralized prototypes to test the market before moving on-chain. Joey attributed Polyamarket's recent success to its focus on real-time event predictions, such as elections and sports, and its high liquidity design, which attracted non-crypto users. For instance, it aggregates information more accurately than traditional polls, as evidenced by the surge in trading volume during the 2024 U.S. presidential election, showcasing its value as an 'information market.' Addressing whether prediction markets are merely gambling, Joey argued that they have evolved into risk hedging tools. Companies can use them for supply chain predictions, moving beyond the stereotype of being just gambling platforms. This shift marks a transition from speculation to utility in the crypto space. Like stock markets, prediction markets involve speculation, but their core function is information discovery. Joey warned that if regulators view them purely as gambling, they risk missing out on economic benefits. Looking ahead, Joey suggested that the U.S. might require prediction markets to comply with KYC/AML regulations, limiting anonymous transactions. While the EU and Asia have more favorable policies, the U.S. sets global standards. Regulation is a double-edged sword; clarity could attract institutional participation, but excessive control, such as banning certain event bets, could stifle innovation. He advised prediction market projects to proactively engage with regulators to avoid an 'adversarial approach.'
