Prediction markets are becoming one of the most interesting liquidity experiments in crypto.
The World Cup is turning real-time information — injuries, lineups, momentum, match results — into continuously repriced probability markets. Polymarket’s World Cup markets now aggregate billions in trading volume, showing how quickly attention can become tradable liquidity.
For systematic strategies, this is not just sports speculation.
It is a live case study in probability pricing, event-driven liquidity, market depth, and settlement design.
The key question is not who wins the tournament.
It is whether prediction markets can mature from attention-driven trading into reliable information infrastructure.
