【BiTu】Exciting news is coming. According to financial media reports, Goldman Sachs Group has recently been researching and predicting the market, aiming to take a share in this rapidly growing field that bets on real-world events. The group’s CEO, Solomon, directly stated that this field is very interesting, and he personally met with the leaders of the top two prediction market platforms in this sector over the past two weeks.

“We have an internal dedicated team communicating and researching with them,” Solomon said during the Q4 earnings analyst call.

This matter is of significant importance. When mainstream financial institutions like Wall Street enter the prediction market, it will inevitably bring stronger legitimacy and increased trading volume to this relatively lightly regulated and rapidly growing niche. Some market-making companies have already started to deploy, and now giants like Goldman Sachs are entering, which will elevate the market recognition of prediction markets to a new level.

Goldman Sachs is here, now the prediction market is really going mainstream. Once Wall Street gets involved, regulation immediately loosens up. This pattern is all too familiar. Solomon personally stepped in, indicating that major institutions are taking this seriously; the scale of funds involved is completely different. Prediction markets are finally no longer fringe; they are gradually becoming mainstream. Those who got in early during this wave of opportunity must be laughing to the bank. Goldman Sachs coming to compete indicates that the group before definitely struck gold. Legitimacy endorsement is more valuable than anything else.

Goldman Sachs' move this time is essentially a signal for institutional entry. Retail investors are still worried about the risks, while large funds are already staking their claims.

Goldman Sachs can finally no longer sit still; the old foxes in traditional finance have sensed the opportunity. Once Wall Street enters the scene, this track changes completely. Regulatory whitewashing and large capital inflows signal that the spring of the prediction market has arrived. Solomon personally met with the two platform bosses, indicating that Goldman Sachs is truly serious and not just playing around. Previously, it was small retail investors and market makers competing, but now giants are also rushing in to take business. Those who entered early will inevitably make huge profits. This is a complete reversal of the initial attitude of traditional finance looking down on cryptocurrencies. Very interesting!

Really, once Goldman Sachs gets involved, this is no longer a small-scale affair. We need to thoroughly verify whether the prediction market protocol architecture can withstand institutional-level traffic...

Goldman Sachs is serious now, the predicted market is about to take off But I'm afraid they'll just do their usual thing, cutting retail investors like chives Wall Street's entry is always driven by traffic and fees, not genuine belief Early entrants are lucky Honestly, the biggest fear for platforms like this is being "compliance-ified" to death When will retail investors truly start making money? The tracks that Goldman Sachs is interested in clearly have potential, but risks must also be guarded against Regulations will definitely follow now, the show is about to begin

Goldman Sachs is entering the scene; established financial institutions are starting to play in the prediction markets. Interesting. Wall Street is really paying attention now; prediction markets are probably going to become popular. Regulators should also start paying attention; the era of easy regulation might be coming to an end. Early movers are probably laughing out loud, but those following the trend are waking up too late. But to be honest, does Goldman Sachs really have the power to change anything? Or are they just going to take another cut?
