What the News section is

Editorial HTML first, labelled RSS second. The photo cards below are our own briefings. The lead is the 29 October halt on Polymarket’s international site after the company said a third-party provider was compromised. The 10 October welcome-bonus check, the Sixth Circuit sports holding, gold and silver perps, the earlier circuit map, and DefiLlama vs rank stay on the board. Older fees, access, CFTC and UFC notes stay in the archive. A crawler sees them without JavaScript.

Live RSS is publisher copy. We do not pretend a Kalshi or Polymarket feed item is a GammaPredict investigation. Related research, not news: how to start, fees and risk, Top Prediction Markets.

It is not a US cash DCM and it is not on the alternatives list. Fees Prediction marketsAug 23, 2026 Fees and spread still eat a screenshot mid A 3-cent advertised edge can vanish after taker fees, FX and the book you actually walk. Mid is not execution. Access Prediction marketsAug 21, 2026 Access and KYC still split one story into two venues A US reader and an EU reader can share a headline and still be looking at two legal products.
