Can prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket become tools of disinformation during war?
Prediction markets can be useful. They can show what traders think might happen next. But in a conflict, a market price can be misread as proof, screenshots can go viral without context, rumors can move markets, and insider information can expose real-world operations.
In this video, I break down how betting markets could be exploited during a crisis, why “market odds” are not intelligence assessments, and how adversaries could use rumor, money, bots, and screenshots to shape public opinion before the truth catches up.
Because in the fog of war, even numbers can be used as smoke.
