Prediction Markets & Volatility

Prediction markets and options both turn uncertainty into a tradable object. Castle Labs tracks Polymarket, Kalshi, Azuro, onchain options protocols, binary markets, volatility venues, and the products forming around probabilistic pricing. This topic is deliberately narrower than Markets or Trading: it is for readers who care about how crypto markets price information, risk, and future events.
