Vitalik: If prediction markets can solve the interest issue, there will be a large number of hedging application scenarios, further driving the growth of trading volume

ChainCatcher message, according to a post by Warpcast, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin mentioned, "An important point I want to add to the debate about the pros and cons of prediction markets is that most mainstream prediction markets currently do not pay interest, which makes them very unattractive for hedging. Because participating means giving up a guaranteed annual return of 4% in dollars.

I expect that once this issue is resolved, there will be a large number of hedging-related application scenarios, and trading volume will further increase."
