Monthly Trading Volumes on Prediction Platforms Surpass $20 Billion
Since the beginning of the year, monthly turnover on prediction markets has surged to a record $20 billion, with the number of unique wallets tripling to 840,000. These figures were shared by analysts at TRM Labs. Source: TRM Labs. From Cryptocurrencies to Geopolitics The bulk of trading activity is driven by geopolitical events, macroeconomic indicators, and the political agenda in the United States. These have displaced cryptocurrency-focused bets, which previously dominated prediction platforms. This shift occurred amid a downturn in the digital asset sector. On Polymarket, volumes have shifted towards tariffs (116 active markets), ceasefire scenarios in Ukraine, and tensions between China and Taiwan. A contract on a US strike on Iran attracted $73 million—a record for the platform's geopolitical markets. On February 28, Polymarket set a daily record of $425 million, surpassing the peak of the 2024 US presidential election. The record was driven by the resolution of Iranian markets. The volume of bets on the Khamenei departure contract soared from $23,000 to $29.6 million in a day—a 1,275-fold increase, the largest daily jump in history. Market Structure Analysts identified four defining features of Polymarket's structure: Geopolitics dominates, but not in a single theme. Volume is fragmented among overlapping issues: leadership outcomes (Khamenei, Xi, Netanyahu), conflict scenarios (Iran, Ukraine, Venezuela), and political events (US shutdowns). US politics remains the second most significant pillar. Contracts tied to domestic political events. The market does not separate "serious" and "non-serious" events. Alongside wars, elections, and macroeconomic issues, bets in the entertainment and culture category are also in demand. Platforms do not separate contracts by instrumental classification, creating a "super app" experience where users trade various instruments on a single platform. At all levels, markets related to international relations and macroeconomics occupy the top positions. Cryptocurrencies hold a small share. Profitability and Strategies The 10 most successful wallets on Polymarket at the beginning of 2026 demonstrated three behavioral models: macro conviction — several addresses focused on decisions by the Fed, earning $3.26 million; algorithmic market-making — a user earned $3.35 million on over a million small trades on markets related to the Oscar premium; event opportunism — a trader created a wallet, played on Ethereum price fluctuations, earned $709,000, and exited. The top address earned $6.2 million across various markets, including Fed meetings, the World Cup, and the 2028 US presidential election. Six out of ten wallets traded every day for 80 days from January 1 to March 22. Source: TRM Labs. New Investments On March 27, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) announced an investment in Polymarket. The amount was $600 million—part of previously agreed funding, under which the company will invest $2 billion in the platform. ICE also announced the possibility of purchasing Polymarket securities from existing holders for up to $40 million—this will allow increasing the stake as the current fundraising stage progresses. Terms are undisclosed, with a promise to reveal them later. Kalshi raised over $1 billion in a new funding round, increasing its valuation to $22 billion. The deal was led by Coatue Management.

Neuralink Patient Plays World of Warcraft Using Mind Control
Elon Musk, head of Neuralink, announced that the company's BCI device can restore speech to those who have lost it. The device translates brain activity into words. Neuralink is restoring speech to those who have lost the ability to speak https://t.co/DySKSyV6yw— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 24, 2026 The entrepreneur commented on a post by the company itself, which shared a video demonstrating the update. In it, ALS patient Kenneth Shock was able to communicate again using the implant. Neuralink's software decodes phonemes (the smallest distinctive units of language), combines them into words, and reproduces them with the patient's original voice. “The disease gradually deprived Kenneth of the ability to speak. As part of Neuralink's VOICE clinical trial, we are exploring how a brain-computer interface designed to convert thoughts into speech can help him regain independence in daily life,” the Neuralink statement reads. The system reads neural activity related to speech, converts it into text, and then vocalizes it through a computer. The process takes some time, but the firm aims for real-time translation to make communication more natural. Musk emphasized that the technology is already operational in real-world conditions and is a step towards enabling people to speak literally through thought. Neuralink's technology is gradually advancing, but the company faces challenges, including regulatory approval, long-term safety, and neurodata privacy. Mass adoption of BCI solutions is still a long way off. Neuralink Patient Plays Warcraft Another Neuralink patient, British veteran paratrooper John L. Noble, shared his achievements since receiving the N1 chip implant 100 days ago. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 100 days since I received my Neuralink N1 implant.

A quick general anaesthetic, a small… pic.twitter.com/jmqA428RuV— Jon L. Noble🇬🇧 (@CheckCanopy) March 22, 2026 The surgery was straightforward. A brief general anaesthetic, a small incision, and then a robotic system precisely placed 1024 ultra-thin threads in the motor cortex. Noble awoke feeling refreshed and in good spirits. In the second week, the implant was connected to a new MacBook. Neuralink engineers conducted calibration, and within minutes, the patient was moving the cursor with his mind. “At first, it felt like trying to recall a dream, but by the third week, it became natural. Scrolling, clicking, typing—all controlled by thought,” Noble noted. By day 80, he launched World of Warcraft and was able to play using mind control. “The first raid was a bit clumsy, but once the brain and BCI synchronized, it was pure magic. Now I raid and explore ‘Azeroth’ hands-free, at full speed, without a mouse and keyboard, just with intentions. It's truly impressive. The sense of freedom is captivating,” the patient reported. Noble received thousands of messages of support and inquiries about the technology and its future. Back in April 2025, a woman paralyzed after a stroke regained her speech after 18 years of silence thanks to an experimental BCI and artificial intelligence.

JPMorgan says bitcoin is the leading haven as war in Iran unsettles markets
Bitcoin is weathering the Iran crisis better than major precious metals, JPMorgan analysts have concluded, reports The Block. Since early March, gold has fallen 15%. Rising interest rates and a stronger dollar have weighed on an overheated market. According to the bank’s experts, record highs (gold — $5,500, silver — $120) left these assets vulnerable to mass profit-taking and liquidations as conditions shifted. Over the past three weeks, gold exchange-traded funds have lost about $11 billion. Silver ETFs shed all the assets accumulated since last summer. Over the same period, bitcoin-based vehicles attracted $1.3 billion. Inflow comparison for gold, silver and bitcoin ETFs. Source: JPMorgan/The Block. Liquidity recovers After the outbreak of the conflict, crypto activity in Iran surged: locals moved funds off domestic exchanges to non-custodial wallets and international platforms. In global markets, bitcoin open interest jumped to $30 billion, CryptoQuant noted. Open interest surged to ~$30B as prices rallied.Binance led inflows, with BTC +$829M and ETH +$1.6B, while activity concentrated on top exchanges.Leverage is flowing into major venues, not broad market participation. pic.twitter.com/uTolRnxtVU— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) March 26, 2026 Inflows concentrated on the largest venues: Binance saw $829 million in bitcoin and $1.6 billion in Ethereum, while activity on smaller exchanges remained muted. Institutional positioning also shifted. JPMorgan’s proxy indicator (based on open interest on CME) showed accumulation in gold and silver in late 2025 to early 2026, then began to fall from January. Positioning in bitcoin futures remained stable. Trend-following traders amplified market moves. Signals for precious metals fell from overbought into sub‑neutral territory — consistent with liquidations. For bitcoin, by contrast, signals have been recovering from oversold toward neutral, reflecting improving sentiment. The liquidity mix shifted, too. Gold — historically more liquid than silver and bitcoin — ceded market breadth to the first cryptocurrency. Silver dropped the most, which, JPMorgan analysts said, may have further magnified the asset’s price swings. Network activity cools At the same time, CryptoQuant analyst Carmelo Aleman flagged a decline in on-chain activity. The number of active bitcoin addresses fell by 30% — from 938,609 to 655,908 — the lowest since August 2025. Bitcoin Is Cooling Internally: Active Addresses Have Fallen by More Than 30%“To validate a convincing structural recovery, it will not be enough to see price move higher; network activity will also need to return.” – By @oro_crypto pic.twitter.com/eBMkEcCut5— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) March 27, 2026 The seven-day moving average of active addresses fell from 777,283 to 612,972 (-21.14%), and the 30-day from 743,714 to 636,314 (-14.44%). A bear market exacerbates this metric, the expert noted. Falling prices and fewer active addresses suggest the market is losing not only value but real participants. “This is important because a price increase by itself does not validate a structural recovery. As long as on-chain activity remains weak, any upswing will rest on a more fragile foundation than during periods of genuine expansion,” Aleman emphasized.
