But then the question comes, is it too late?

Some people may not have heard of these apps because they're not like super, super recognizable, but they definitely are becoming more mainstream.

I mean, you see CNBC and CNN now incorporating, you know, prediction market odds into their news coverage.

During the Golden Globes recently, they were telling the audience to check out polymarket odds before they threw to every commercial break.

And Grammy host Trevor Noah even made a joke about it during the awards show.

I think more and more institutions are saying, we think there's something here.

If you can make money on what happens tomorrow in the White House, you're more likely to tune in to a White House press conference, right?

But at least in Trump 2.0, I think they're going to be sticking around.

Thanks, Aisha.

This was fun.

Thanks for having me.
