Prediction marketplace founder Shayne Coplan spoke at the Cantor Fitzgerald conference in Miami, where he discussed building Polymarket alone and with little money using blockchain technology from his bedroom. Coplan argued that prediction markets offer better information than polls or sportsbooks by pricing real-world outcomes through peer-to-peer trading. He sees future use cases for Polymarket in public policy, insurance, and AI-driven forecasting, calling it a new format for understanding risk and uncertainty.
