Capital Gathering III: Prediction Markets Come to Dubai
Capital Gathering III in Dubai focuses on prediction markets, a rapidly growing finance vertical, with industry leaders discussing regulation and infrastructure.Summary
Capital Gathering, a private community for Web3, AI, and emerging tech leaders, is holding its third event in Dubai, focusing on the rapidly growing prediction markets sector. Despite the postponement of Token2049 Dubai, this event aims to maintain momentum. Held at Birds, a venue offering city views, the gathering will not feature panels or pitch decks, but rather discussions among founders, investors, and executives. Prediction markets have seen significant growth, reaching nearly $26 billion in monthly volume by January 2026, driven by market volatility and new users, transitioning from a niche to a core financial infrastructure. Key discussion points include regulation, liquidity, and the development of underlying infrastructure, with tools like Pulse, a co-sponsor, offering institutional-grade access to retail users. The event was founded by Web3 founders Kristina Berezina and Daria Pakina, and follows successful previous editions in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Both co-founders emphasized Dubai's role in the ongoing conversation about the future of prediction markets, highlighting the presence of key industry shapers in the region.
