These platforms, which let users bet on future events, could fall under financial regulations, crypto rules, or gambling laws — none of which they’re currently complying with. With inconsistent national restrictions and VPNs helping users bypass bans, ESMA questions how enforceable these limits are. The classification of “event contracts” is crucial: financial instruments could trigger binary options bans, blockchain-based ones might face MiCA rules, and pure games of chance would be subject to gambling laws. Beyond prediction markets, ESMA also warns of an emerging “AI bubble,” where heavy borrowing for AI tech could collapse, forcing investors to sell off riskier assets like crypto. As stocks rebound from geopolitical stress but crypto lags — with Bitcoin down and ETF outflows rising — the interconnectedness of crypto and traditional finance makes this a volatile crossroads worth watching closely.
