Because the issuance rate decreases with each halving, the final fraction of a Bitcoin might take several decades to be issued. Currently, new Bitcoins are issued at about 3.125 $BTC every 10 minutes;…

Traders give a drop to $62,500 a…

The Market Nobody Expected to Top the Request List Kalshi built a tool inside its app that lets users pitch markets they want to see listed. Ask Andy Ross, the platform’s Head of Institutional, what tops that request list, and the answer isn’t the Federal Reserve, the midterms, or the next big sports championship, but something totally out of left field. Ross revealed: “Our number one market that we’re asked by individuals to develop is, will my partner divorce me.” It’s a funny anecdote, but it’s also a genuinely useful data point about where prediction markets are headed. Kalshi has…
