[ChainWen] The prediction market has recently experienced an interesting wave of capital movement.

According to data, the probability of a certain key political figure stepping down before January 31st changed significantly within just a few days. Last week, this probability remained stable at around 5%-6%, but starting from 10 PM on Friday, there was a turning point—the probability suddenly surged to 8.5%. Just three hours later, at 1 AM on Saturday, it jumped to 12.5%, and then continued to rise.

What truly catches the eye is the scale of the funds involved. There are at least six related contracts in the prediction market, totaling $56.6 million. What does this indicate? It shows how much market participants are paying attention to this event.

Looking more closely at the distribution of funds: approximately $11 million are bets that this individual will step down before January 31st, and these bets ultimately paid off. Additionally, about $40 million are bets that the person will step down before November 30th or December 31st, but these bets did not materialize.

What does this shift in capital flow reveal? As one of the most interesting applications in the crypto ecosystem, prediction markets often reflect the true expectations of market participants most directly. Money talks—behind the tens of millions of dollars at stake is the market’s real-time judgment of the situation.

Damn, 56.6 million? These people are really getting the hang of prediction markets. In just a few hours, it jumped from 8.5% to 12.5%. The pace is incredible... Did anyone really profit from this wave? That 11 million bet must have been so satisfying to win. Prediction markets are becoming more and more like casinos. But then again, with such obvious data, anyone can see it. 56.6 million, brother. How many people would need to go all-in to accumulate that scale... Using this kind of thing to predict political outcomes, the risk must be huge. You could lose everything.

$56.6 million playing political gamble, these people really have too much idle money This probability jumps from 5% to 12.5%, doubling within three hours? There must be big players dumping the market behind the scenes Betting on politicians stepping down to win? I think it's a game of information advantage Watching the excitement without minding the trouble, this market is just a big casino $11 million bet and won? Who's so accurate? How much information advantage do they have?

It's the same story again, big funds entering the market always seem suspicious. Over 50 million invested, is it really just a political gamble? I think it's all about arbitrage from information gaps. That successful order of 11 million is truly outrageous; you must know so much in advance to dare to do that.
