Olas Launches Self-Custodial AI Agents for Prediction Market Trading

The pitch here is autonomy plus custody: agents that trade prediction markets without handing over keys or funds, which sidesteps the usual trust problem in automated trading. Routing to frontier models on a pay-as-you-go basis also lowers the barrier for retail, though it raises a subtler issue — the edge now depends on model access and execution quality rather than market insight. Whether self-custodial agents can reliably outperform human traders, and how the specialized-agent layer is priced, is the open question.
