Damn, is this 700 million trading volume real? Did regulation actually make it more popular?

Over 7 million USD now, and it can still rise after regulation comes. This thing really has some potential.

7 billion dollars in trading volume, this wave is really breaking through the atmosphere, just not sure if the SEC folks will install a brake on the rocket 😅 --- Prediction markets are directly landing on the moon, but the clouds of regulation are also coming. It feels like playing with a rocket—risk and opportunity are always twin engines. --- 701M in volume sounds appealing, but I always feel that after this round of scrutiny, only a few platforms will survive. --- The compliance dilemma is truly money-burning. The control room is now definitely calculating fuel consumption rates, seeing who can last until the end. --- Mainstream adoption ≠ regulatory approval. Don’t be fooled by this number; DYOR is the real key. --- The number of people betting on prediction markets is increasing, but even more are betting on regulatory knives falling, haha. --- This sector is now like dancing on barbed wire; volumes are up, but beneath your feet are flames.

Damn, a trading volume of 700 million USD, the more they ban, the more popular it gets... --- Regulation actually boosts trading volume? That's really absurd. --- How long can the prediction market last this time? Maybe take a gamble. --- The Americans want to investigate this area, and our domestic brothers will probably hide again. --- 700 million sounds huge, but banning it really only takes a moment. --- The more chaotic it gets, can platforms and traders really have a good time?

Damn, with a trading volume of 700 million USD, can this withstand the scrutiny of the Americans? Feels like it's going to fail.
