At @CML_LDN London, I joined Andy Ross, Head of Institutional Business at @Kalshi , alongside speakers from Wincent, Block Scholes and Cauldron, to discuss the future of prediction markets.
My bull case is that prediction markets can evolve into information infrastructure and real-time sentiment sensors.
But not every headline probability should be treated as equally meaningful.
Market depth, insider information and resolution quality are key factors to consider.
Before trusting the odds, ask:
Who is trading?
How deep is the market?
How easily can the price be moved?
Who determines the final outcome?

Midnight 🤝 Monument Bank
Monument is set to become the first UK-regulated bank to tokenize retail customer deposits on a public blockchain — representing interest-bearing savings as digital tokens while remaining fully backed, redeemable in GBP, and protected under existing regulatory frameworks.
Built on Midnight’s privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure, this approach ensures that transaction data remains shielded and accessible only to authorized participants — enabling the use of blockchain technology while maintaining the confidentiality and compliance required in regulated financial services.
The initiative begins with a target of £250 million in tokenized deposits and represents the first phase in a broader rollout to expand access to tokenized financial products. Over time, this includes enabling exposure to asset classes such as private equity and structured products, and introducing more flexible lending models — capabilities historically reserved for institutional and private banking clients.
Together, this partnership demonstrates how regulated financial institutions can bring traditional financial products on-chain — unlocking a more flexible, accessible, and programmable financial system without compromising privacy or regulatory standards.
