Adobe Inc

Adobe (ADBE) is currently experiencing significant downward pressure following multiple analyst downgrades and concerns over intensifying AI competition from emerging tools and rival offerings, despite reporting better-than-expected earnings. The community is sharply divided, with many perceiving it as an "AI victim" and "value trap," while a bullish contingent highlights its robust fundamentals, strong cash flow, and market leadership as an "undervalued steal" amidst the broader software sector's struggles.

Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is trending amid intense community discussion, driven by MicroStrategy's continued accumulation and anticipation surrounding the US Senate's proposed crypto bill aimed at establishing clearer market rules. While many bulls foresee significant upward movement and emphasize Bitcoin's role as a digital hedge, others express frustration over its recent price consolidation and ongoing debates about its market correlation. This dialogue unfolds against a backdrop of broader economic and geopolitical developments.

Chien in 2010 and is headquartered in Cambridge, MA.

Moderna Inc

Moderna is trending as the community reacts to positive developments concerning its pipeline, including global regulatory submissions for its seasonal flu vaccine and plans for a combined flu and COVID vaccine. Bulls are emphasizing the company's long-term potential in oncology and the possibility of a short squeeze, while others remain skeptical about its valuation and future revenue growth.

Candel Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical stage biotechnology company, which engages in the development and commercialization of viral immunotherapies. Its pipeline includes CAN-2409 and CAN-3110. The company was founded by Estuardo Aguilar-Cordova in 2002 and is headquartered in Needham, MA.

Candel Therapeutics Inc

Candel Therapeutics is trending amidst widespread community speculation about an imminent major partnership or acquisition, notably with Big Pharma firms, fueled by recent FDA flexibility regarding CMC requirements and upcoming industry conferences. Investors are keenly anticipating a substantial buyout and a potential short squeeze, given the promising Phase 3 data for its lead prostate cancer drug and upcoming Biologics License Application submission in 2026.

Gemini Beats Coinbase To Market As Prediction Markets Turn Into Wall Street’s Next Trading Battleground

Coinbase is expected to announce its own prediction markets and tokenized equities next week.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Coinbase declined to confirm the reports and pointed to its Dec. 17 system update.</li><li>The potential launch fits its strategy to expand beyond crypto trading.</li><li>Prediction markets have expanded rapidly, drawing interest from trading platforms and putting pressure on traditional sportsbooks.</li></ul>Coinbase is reportedly set to announce an in-house prediction markets product as early as next week, powered by U.S.-based operator Kalshi, as the crypto exchange accelerates its push beyond digital assets.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Speculation Builds Ahead Of System Update</h2>The crypto firm declined to confirm the&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/12/coinbase-to-soon-unveil-prediction-markets-powered-by-kalshi-source-says.html">report by CNBC</a> and did not comment on the timing of any launch, but said users should tune into its “Coinbase System Update” event scheduled for Dec. 17.Speculation around the product has circulated for nearly a month. In November, researcher Jane Manchun Wong shared what appeared to be screenshots of a Coinbase prediction&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/wongmjane/status/1990905018602705093?s=20">markets dashboard on X</a>.&nbsp;The company could also unveil a tokenized stock offering at the Dec. 17 event, according to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-12-11/coinbase-ready-to-launch-prediction-markets-tokenized-stocks">report</a> by Bloomberg.<h2 class="st-heading-2">‘Everything Exchange’ Push</h2>The reported launch aligns with Coinbase’s broader ambition to become an “everything exchange,” offering access to crypto assets, tokenized stocks and event-based contracts on a single platform. CEO Brian Armstrong told investors in May that Coinbase aims to grow into a leading financial services app over the next decade, CNBC noted.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Rivals Expand Into Prediction Markets</h2>Coinbase’s expansion comes as competition intensifies from rivals such as Robinhood, Gemini and Kraken, which have rolled out tokenized equity products outside the U.S. and explored prediction markets.&nbsp;At the same time, the broader&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/polymarket-kalshi-prediction-markets-keep-draft-kings-flutter-on-high-alert/cLIXNrAREKH">prediction markets space has grown more crowded</a>, with platforms like Polymarket and Robinhood scaling rapidly across contracts linked to markets, politics and sports.The rise of event-based trading has also begun to pressure traditional sportsbooks.

The company already supplies prediction markets to Robinhood under a non-exclusive agreement and has held talks with other brokerages, including crypto firms, about similar deals.Kalshi’s profile has risen sharply in recent months.

Coinbase Set For Prediction Markets Reveal With Kalshi Next Week As Rivals Crowd The Space: Report

Coinbase declined to confirm the CNBC report but said it would provide updates at its Dec. 17 “Coinbase System Update” event.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Prediction market platforms Polymarket and Kalshi recently raised mega funding rounds and are aggressively expanding through sports wagers and partnerships.</li><li>Their rise has disrupted sportsbooks' businesses, with DraftKings and Flutter now planning their own foray into prediction markets.</li><li>Robinhood, which launched a prediction-market hub in March, has seen its stock rally sharply.&nbsp;</li></ul>Step back from the wall-to-wall AI buzz for a moment, and another fast-rising business trend comes into focus: prediction markets.Top platforms in the space – Polymarket, Kalshi, and Robinhood’s Prediction Markets Hub – have scaled aggressively this year. Their wagers on everything from markets to politics, sports, and culture are drawing massive interest from users across the United States, as well as from financial entities looking to use their prediction data in novel ways.<h1 class="st-heading-1">Incredible Growth</h1>Kalshi on Tuesday secured $1 billion at an $11 billion valuation, marking its third fundraise of the year and more than doubling its valuation in just a few months. The platform shot to prominence as users piled into contracts ahead of November 2024’s presidential election, which saw Donald Trump win, and has since aggressively expanded into sports betting.Polymarket bagged a $2 billion cheque from the New York Stock Exchange operator Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) two months ago, at a pre-investment valuation of $8 billion. As part of the deal, ICE will also distribute Polymarket’s event-driven data, providing customers with sentiment indicators on market-relevant topics.And Robinhood? Its stock has been on an absolute tear — HOOD is up more than threefold this year — helped in part by its aggressive push into prediction markets. The company rolled out its prediction-market hub with Kalshi in March and, just last month, snapped up a 90% stake in MIAX Derivatives Exchange, a move that sent its shares sharply higher. &nbsp;<figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"><col style="width:25%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;vertical-align:bottom;">Platform&nbsp;</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;vertical-align:bottom;">Primary Volume Driver in November 2025</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;vertical-align:bottom;">Broadly Popular Contracts (Last 6 Months)</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;vertical-align:bottom;">Key Metric/Note</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Kalshi</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;text-align:center;">Sports-related contracts (Pro Football, NHL, NBA, etc.)</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;text-align:center;">Sports: NFL game outcomes and championships (dominant volume driver).

Source: Stocktwits research<h1 class="st-heading-1">Sportsbooks On Alert</h1>That’s all great, but the surge of prediction markets is also shaking up a core industry: sportsbooks. Giants like DraftKings and Flutter Entertainment, which owns FanDuel, are quietly growing uneasy and have announced plans to roll out their own prediction-market products as soon as this month or next. Flutter is building one through a partnership with CME Group, while DraftKings will launch one&nbsp;following its recent acquisition of Railbird Technologies.In recent interviews, DraftKings and Flutter management&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/draft-kings-stock-drops-premarket-on-lower-revenue-forecast-ceo-downplays-threat-from-prediction-markets/cL2vMQ9RETi">have said</a> that sportsbooks and prediction markets are two distinct offerings and, as such, would not cannibalize each other's user bases. To be sure, sportsbooks&nbsp;account for about half of their topline, with the rest coming mostly from iGaming (casino, poker, bingo, and lottery games, both online and on the apps).&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2400/1400;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/koyfin_20251203_025149132_png_a50ca258de.webp" alt="koyfin_20251203_025149132.png" width="2400" height="1400"></figure>However, some recent products, like same-game parlays, strike right at the core of DraftKings’ and Flutter’s core sportbook offerings. What’s more, when Polymarket and Kalshi signed a major deal with the National Hockey League, the first major U.S. sports league to license its trademarks to prediction markets, DKNG and FLUT stocks did not take it kindly.In fact, recent results from both show weak sportsbook revenues, though that’s also due to customer-friendly results in this NFL season. Nevertheless, DraftKings tightened its annual forecast.

The Prediction Markets Rush: Polymarket, Kalshi Are Ascending Fast — And Sportsbooks DraftKings And Flutter Are On High Alert

Massive funding deals and the recent wave of partnerships with major sports leagues and mainstream finance and media outlets mark a pivot for Kalshi and Polymarket.

It also included participation from Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Meritech Capital, IVP, ARK Invest, Anthos Capital, CapitalG, and Y Combinator.According to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/business/dealbook/kalshi-prediction-market-billion.html">report</a> by The New York Times, the latest valuation has reportedly made the co-founders, Mansour and Luana Lopes Lara, paper billionaires, with each owning 20% to 25% of the company.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Expansion On The Horizon</h2>The report added that the company is also moving to broaden its reach, including an expected partnership with CNN, according to a source familiar with the arrangement. They said Kalshi aims to leverage media collaborations to increase user adoption and mainstream awareness of predictive marketplaces.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Predictive Markets Getting More Competitive</h2>Kalshi, one of the sector’s largest players, previously&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/kalshi-doubles-valuation-to-5-b-in-latest-funding-round-report/ch6aClnR3SM">raised funds</a> this fall at a $5 billion valuation.

In October, Kalshi announced a $300 million round, while Polymarket secured a potential multibillion-dollar investment from the owner of the New York Stock Exchange. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around Polymarket, which is not a publicly traded company, trended in ‘extremely bullish’ territory amid ‘extremely high’ levels of chatter.The rise of prediction markets has also disrupted traditional online sports gambling.
