Interestingly, a prediction market platform on a certain blockchain recorded an outrageous trade—someone placed a $30,000 bet the day before an event that a South American leader would be arrested, and it actually happened. The final profit exceeded $400,000. This reflects the liquidity and informational advantage of on-chain prediction markets, while also exposing the information asymmetry issues inherent in such markets. From the trading data, these high-risk, high-reward prediction trades are becoming a new strategy for some traders.

Wow, insider trading has directly moved onto the chain? From 30,000 to over 400,000, this deal is just too crazy... Information asymmetry is money.

30,000 to 400,000? This guy must have caught some wind of something, making a killing from information asymmetry.

Is this guy really in the know or just lucky? Turning 30,000 into over 400,000. I must say, he's experienced... Based on my analysis, there's 100% information asymmetry behind this. Can on-chain data lie? No, but wallet addresses can. to be continued

This guy's insider info is too strong... He went all-in with $30,000 just a day earlier, turning it into over $400,000. Is this a prediction or prior knowledge? On-chain transparency but human nature remains opaque.

Did this guy know a day in advance? Insider trading can't be hidden on the blockchain either, this is the real alpha.

No way, turning 30,000 into over 400,000? Did this guy get some inside information? That's just too outrageous.

This guy probably knew something in advance... turning 30,000 into over 400,000. How many people had to lose everything to make that kind of profit?

Wow, this insider trading smell is so strong. How is it such a coincidence that I just happened to catch it... On-chain prediction markets are just information battlegrounds.
