TL;DR: Delphi Digital argues that prediction markets are evolving into “multiverse” conditional markets that price not just whether events happen, but how each possible outcome affects asset values. Building on Robin Hanson’s futarchy concept and enabled by Gnosis’ conditional token framework, projects like MetaDAO and Lightcone are creating scenario-specific assets (e.g., BTC-if-rate-cut) that can trade, serve as collateral, or underpin derivatives within distinct “verses.” This unlocks precise, event-level hedging and capital allocation, but the model still faces a key challenge: fragmented liquidity and the need for a breakout use case beyond crypto-native users.
