PredictIt remains structurally static: still capped at $850 per market with 5%/10% fees, operating under the PMRC's CFTC no-action letter rather than a DCM license. Its academic-research positioning and steady mentions in cross-platform arbitrage trackers alongside Kalshi and Polymarket increasingly look like the platform's ceiling rather than a transitional phase toward broader licensing.

Scoring is illustrative and based on public information. SiaPredict does not provide legal advice.
