Kenson Investments Expands Market-Structure Research Into Prediction Markets and 24-Hour Trading
Charlotte, South Carolina, October 29th, 2026, Chainwire
New educational series examines how event-based markets and continuous trading models are reshaping the way participants understand market structure, liquidity, risk, and operational readiness
Kenson Investments is expanding its educational research into emerging changes in market structure with a new series examining prediction markets and the transition toward increasingly continuous trading environments. The initiative will examine the two developments as separate areas of market evolution while identifying common structural questions around liquidity, transparency, information flow, technology, and operational readiness.
Prediction markets have moved from a relatively specialized forecasting mechanism into a growing area of public discussion. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission describes prediction markets as markets offering products commonly referred to as event contracts. These contracts can be structured around yes-or-no outcomes and generally establish a defined payout and expiration. The CFTC notes that prediction markets have existed in U.S. regulated markets for more than two decades, with their modern history extending back to the Iowa Electronic Market in 1988.
At the same time, the structure of trading itself is changing. In September 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission held a public roundtable dedicated to preparations for 24-hour trading. The discussion covered exchange and intermediary readiness, overnight surveillance, closing-price processes, clearing and settlement, market-data continuity, cybersecurity, staffing models, system capacity, and operational resiliency. The SEC also identified the longer-term possibility of markets moving toward 24×7 trading.
Kenson Investments’ new educational series will examine these developments from a market-structure perspective rather than presenting specific trading recommendations. The objective is to provide general market insights that help readers understand how changes in trading hours, contract design, information availability, liquidity, and technology can influence the way digital markets and adjacent financial ecosystems operate.
The prediction-market portion of the series will focus on the mechanics and information characteristics of event contracts. Rather than treating prediction markets as conventional financial markets, Kenson’s educational material will examine how contract prices can reflect participants’ collective expectations about defined future outcomes, how settlement terms influence market structure, and why clear contract specifications and reliable resolution mechanisms matter.
The CFTC explains that event-contract prices can reflect the market’s perceived probability of an outcome and that contract structures may include fixed payouts, expiration times, and defined settlement procedures. The agency also emphasizes that participation carries financial risk and that users should understand contract terms, fees, risks, and settlement provisions before participating.
As market infrastructure continues to evolve, understanding the mechanics behind these changes can help readers distinguish between technological developments, market-structure developments, regulatory developments, and the risks associated with participation. Kenson Investments intends for the new series to serve as a continuing educational resource for readers seeking a clearer understanding of the digital asset ecosystem and the broader changes occurring across market infrastructure.
