Prediction markets have been gaining traction as decentralized platforms that allow users to bet on the outcomes of real-world events from politics and sports to crypto price movements.
These markets not only crowdsource collective intelligence but also reward users for accurate forecasting, offering a powerful alternative to traditional polling or speculation models.
While giants like Augur and Polymarket dominate the space, several lesser known tokens are quietly building strong communities and innovative platforms, all while flying under the radar with market capitalizations below $10 million. This article explores five such underdog prediction market tokens that deserve a closer look.
