Prediction market operations integration could spark M&A wave, Bernstein report says

Prediction market operators bringing trading infrastructure in-house could lead to more mergers and acquisitions across crypto platforms, sportsbooks, brokerages and independent exchanges, an analysis showed. Bernstein said the sector is moving quickly into an operational integration phase as platforms seek direct control over distribution, brokerage, exchange and clearing functions. Recent moves by Robinhood, DraftKings and Coinbase reflect the trend. Bernstein said regulatory scrutiny is a key barrier to large-scale consolidation.
