Vitalik: If the prediction market provides interest, it will drive transaction volume growth and a large number of hedging use cases will emerge

Vitalik Buterin pointed out the current disinterest in mainstream prediction markets, comparing the potential gains against a 4% annual interest rate on USD. He believes rectifying this issue could attract more participants.

He anticipates that the introduction of interest would not only drive transaction volumes significantly but also pave the way for diverse hedging applications in the future.
