Description
Lucas and Luna dive into the growing phenomenon of prediction markets and how they're creating a new arena for short-term traders. With the S&P 500 at 7,447 and the VIX dropping to 16.72, they discuss why event contracts on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket are attracting day traders looking for asymmetric risk. Lucas breaks down the mechanics, the regulatory tug-of-war between states and the CFTC, and how volatility in these markets can surpass traditional equities. They also touch on the SpaceX direct-listing buzz and what it means for retail access. A must-listen for active traders seeking alternative instruments.
