Gate founder Dr. Han: Prediction markets are essentially information pricing tools and have the potential to evolve into a new generation of market infrastructure.

On April 20th, Dr. Han, founder and CEO of Gate, stated during a group interview with the media at the Rosewood Hotel in Hong Kong that while prediction markets appear to be an emerging trading category, their underlying logic is closer to an "information pricing" tool. Users express their judgments about event outcomes through trading, not only forming trading behavior but also continuously generating collective probabilistic consensus, transforming the flow of information in the real world into data that can be priced and verified by the market. Dr. Han believes that the significance of prediction markets for exchanges lies not only in enriching product offerings but also in expanding the dimensions of user participation, extending from simply trading assets to judging the events themselves. In the long term, with the continuous improvement of infrastructure, prediction markets have the potential to evolve from a short-term hot topic into something akin to "information infrastructure," becoming an important carrier connecting information and capital. Currently, users can directly access prediction markets through the Gate App, entering the Polymarket page from the Alpha page on the platform's homepage, and participating in event predictions using USDT from their exchange accounts. Gate will continue to promote the integration of the trading ecosystem and prediction markets, expanding users' market participation experience.
