Prediction markets show an interesting liquidity concentration pattern. At its peak, one major prediction platform processed $12 billion in monthly volume, while a comparable platform only moved around $300 million—a stark gap that reveals how capital clusters around defined events. Unlike the fragmentation we see across 20,000 token launches daily, prediction markets funnel trader interest into finite outcomes, creating deeper order books. However, this efficiency comes with risks: traders in certain prediction bets saw losses exceeding 97%, suggesting that concentrated liquidity can amplify both gains and drawdowns when outcomes materialize.

Haha, liquidity is concentrated to the max, one platform takes 40 times the volume, this is what you call the winner takes all.

"ngl the 12B vs 300M spread is wild but let me break this down—it's literally just governance power consolidation in disguise. if you examine the data historically, whenever capital concentrates like this, voting dynamics shift. the 97% losses though? that's what happens when people ignore quorum requirements and tokenomics fundamentals, tbh"

Is the liquidity concentration so exaggerated? 12B vs 300M, the gap is this big!

Oh no, with such a high liquidity concentration, it feels like a gamble.
