[Syndicate Co-Founder: Prediction Markets Are Closer to DAOs, Both Involving the 'Combination of Social Behavior and Capital'] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Syndicate co-founder Ian Lee recently stated that prediction markets and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) may be closer than the public perceives, as both involve the 'combination of social behavior and capital.' Lee pointed out that the essence of DAOs is the simultaneous coordination of human capital and financial capital, while prediction markets also coordinate funds and collective intelligence, thus they can be seen as a type of DAO. He emphasized that prediction markets should not be viewed merely as 'gambling tools' but rather as 'socialized financial networks.' Currently, platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket are seeing active trading, with the former's monthly trading volume surpassing $1 billion and the latter recording 226,000 active traders last month, with a similar trading volume of approximately $1 billion.
