NEXTPredict Founder Says Prediction Markets Lack Coverage for Massive Audience

The claim of an underserved audience is really an argument about distribution, not demand: prediction markets have long had users but little mainstream reach, and the founder is positioning his venue as the fix. Placing exchange voices beside CNBC and CNN reporters ahead of the midterms suggests the sector's real constraint has been media legitimacy and airtime rather than trading interest. Whether that coverage converts into durable participation, or fades once the election cycle passes, is the open question.
