NEXT.io Launches NEXTPredict: The Prediction Markets Industry's First Dedicated Media Brand and Inaugural Global Summit

NEXT.io, the media and events group with over twelve years of experience building global summits, has announced the launch of NEXTPredict, the prediction markets industry's first dedicated media and conference brand, alongside confirmation of the inaugural NEXTPredict Summit NYC, set to take place October 22–23 at Convene, Hudson Yards.

The launch comes as the prediction markets sector experiences extraordinary momentum. Monthly trading volume reached $25 billion in March alone, with full-year 2025 volume hitting $63.5 billion, a 400% increase year-on-year. Some analysts project annual volume could reach $1.3 trillion by the end of 2026.

NEXTPredict.io is now live, delivering daily news, analysis, and original research to an industry that has long lacked a dedicated editorial home. The platform covers regulatory developments, platform news, financial analysis, and the legal battles increasingly shaping the sector's future, including ongoing CFTC interventions across multiple US states.

The NEXTPredict Summit NYC will serve as the world's first dedicated prediction markets conference, bringing together operators, investors, founders, regulators, suppliers, and media under one roof. Confirmed speakers for the inaugural edition include Jeremy Levine of Underdog, Alexander Kane of Sporttrade, Joey Levy of Betr, and CNBC's Contessa Brewer, with further announcements expected.

"Prediction markets sit at the intersection of finance, technology, media, and regulation," the company said. "There's been no one dedicated to covering, convening, and connecting the people and companies building this industry. NEXTPredict fills that gap."

The brand also recently published The Great Divide, a 56-page research report drawing on over 15 exclusive interviews with economists, attorneys, and executives, including representatives from Bank of America, KPMG, and Fanatics, providing what the company describes as the most comprehensive analysis of the prediction market industry to date.
