The wave of AI and the race in prediction markets are unfolding. Forbes' latest list of self-made billionaires under 30 in 2025 reveals an interesting phenomenon — among the top 13, 9 entrepreneurs are active in the artificial intelligence field, while the remaining 4 are rooted in prediction markets and online casino tracks. Among them, 27-year-old Polymarket founder made the list with an innovative prediction market platform, two 29-year-old Kalshi co-founders also gained prominence for their prediction market business, and another 29-year-old Stake co-founder has made a name in the online casino sector. This data is quite insightful — in the wealth creation sequence dominated by AI, prediction markets as a niche in Web3 are rapidly accumulating wealth effects, reflecting strong market demand for new financial infrastructure. Young entrepreneurs' choices often best sense the signals of the next growth engine.

The prediction market is really gaining momentum. Polymarket and these folks have managed to make a name for themselves by earning from betting, it's incredible...

Prediction markets are really picking up, but I still think AI is too competitive, 9 vs 4, the gap is obvious. Polymarket definitely caught the wave this time, but I feel prediction markets are still a niche, reaching that scale is already impressive. Honestly, it's still Web3 infrastructure that’s lacking too much. Where is the true killer app? Wait, online casinos are also on the list? Is this financial innovation or just gambling with a rebrand? A bit confusing. The choices young people are making this time are quite interesting, but no one can really say what the next growth engine will be.

The predicted market is indeed accumulating this wave, but to be honest, the logic behind these people's wealth growth is no different from on-chain arbitrage... It's just finding unpriced information gaps within volatility.
