Morgan Stanley enters prediction markets, becoming a strategic partner of NEXTPredict

BlockBeats news,September 25, Morgan Stanley will participate as a strategic partner in October 22 to 23 the NEXTPredict prediction market summit held in New York, where Stephen Grambling, head of U.S. gaming, lodging, and leisure industry research at Morgan Stanley, will moderate a panel discussion on institutional capital.

NEXTPredict co-founder Pierre Lindh said this is the first bank to publicly participate in an event in this field. Lindh stated that approximately 90%of the liquidity and trading volume in prediction markets currently comes from sports contracts, and that the industry's current high valuations are based on expectations of large-scale institutional capital entering the market in the future and prediction markets transforming from “alternative gambling” into institutional tools.

Morgan Stanley previously participated in Kalshi May-completed 1000000000 USD financing, and this year April published a report researching prediction markets.
