These platforms provide transparent signals about market expectations, offering traders a valuable new layer of sentiment data. Key tokens to watch include $POLY, associated with the Polymarket platform, which offers governance and platform benefits, and $PREDI, an early prediction protocol on Base that allows AI agents to participate in markets automatically.
