Cons:

• Prediction markets face restrictive regulation in many jurisdictions including India.

• Liquidity is thin outside a small number of headline markets.

• Exposure to prediction markets focused on macroeconomic outcomes.

• Clear resolution criteria reduce dispute risk relative to open-ended questions.

• The regulatory position is the dominant consideration and varies sharply by market.

• Markets built specifically around scheduled economic data releases, where resolution criteria are unambiguous.

• Forecasts about economic outcomes are published as opinions with no cost to being wrong.

• A market makes forecasters stake capital on their view, which prices the consensus honestly.

• Core contributor identities are partially public.

• Backed by ecosystem investors.

• No public ICO. Distributed through community allocations.

• Prediction markets are restricted or prohibited in many jurisdictions.

• Oracle resolution disputes are the category's main failure mode.
