Prediction markets have often been explained in very simple terms. Will something happen, or not?

Will a team win, will a candidate be elected, will an event take place? That simplicity has been part of their appeal. It makes the product feel accessible, especially through sport, entertainment or public events. But the category is now moving quickly. What began for many users as a yes or no experience is expanding toward a broader trading style environment, closer to crypto, finance and more complex market mechanics. The experience may still look simple, but what sits behind it is changing.
