Top Prediction Markets by Trading Volume in last 30 days The prediction market sector is quietly becoming one of the most capitalized verticals in crypto. Over the last 30 days, volume leaders are Kalshi, Polymarket, Opinion, Probable, Predict Fun, Limitless and Myriad. At the top, 2 giants dominate the funding landscape: Kalshi has raised $1.57B at an ~$11B valuation, while Polymarket has raised $2.28B at an ~$9B valuation. Both are positioning themselves as core infrastructure for the sector's next growth phase. Token dynamics are starting to shape what comes next: • Opinion is approaching TGE, currently trading on Binance pre-market at $0.5, implying a $500M FDV • Limitless is already live at $0.11, putting the project at roughly $110M FDV Opinion's $OPN TGE is the nearest catalyst to watch, expected early March – pre-market pricing shows demand, but execution will decide if it holds. Polymarket remains the biggest pending TGE in the space, with $2.28B raised and still no launch date in sight. @TOP7ICO

Extreme Fear on Market – Bearish 2022 vs 2026 On February 23-24, 2026, the Fear & Greed Index is in extreme fear at 5 points – even lower than the 6-point reading on June 18, 2022, which marked one of the most brutal lows of the last bear market cycle. Yet despite printing a worse score, prices remain structurally far above the previous capitulation phase. From the 2022 extreme fear low: • $BTC is still +258% • $ETH +105% • $XRP +326% • $BNB +221% • $SOL +151% • $TRX +367% Even at 5 points today, the market sits well above the 6-point panic bottom of 2022. That said, extreme fear is not a guaranteed bottom signal. Liquidity conditions, macro environment, and broader risk sentiment still matter. We are in fear again — but the final capitulation may not be here yet. @TOP7ICO

Top 10 Crypto Protocols & Products by Revenue - Last 30 Days The past 30 days once again highlight where real cash flow in crypto is being generated. Stablecoin issuers and trading infrastructure continue to dominate revenue capture, reinforcing that liquidity and financial rails remain the core profit engines of the industry. Tether leads decisively with $492.6M, followed by Circle at $187.6M - both benefiting from yield on reserves and scale advantages. Trading venues like Hyperliquid and Pump remain strong revenue drivers. The data shows a clear pattern: products tied to transaction flow, stablecoin issuance, and trading volume consistently outperform narrative-driven sectors. @TOP7ICO

Flying Tulip closed Public Sale with $208M invested, FT became tradable $FT debuts in market at $974M FDV - but this isn't a typical token launch, and understanding the difference matters. Flying Tulip raised $208M not through a classic sale where funds go to the team, but via a Perpetual PUT mechanism. Every dollar deposited sits in Aave, generating yield - that yield is the protocol's actual revenue. The way it works: participants received $FT wrapped in an NFT representing a PUT option. At any time, users can burn $FT and get $USDC back 1:1, or withdraw $FT to a wallet and give up the right, in which case reserved USDC is used to buy and burn FT on the market. FT just became transferable today. Spot trading, lending, and ftUSD are rolling out first, with a full orderbook coming within 1-2 weeks. ℹ️ Flying Tulip is a full-stack onchain exchange integrating spot trading, derivatives, lending, money markets, a native stablecoin (ftUSD), and onchain insurance into a single cross-margin system founded by Andre Cronje. It raised $225.5M in two funding rounds backed by Brevan Howard Digital, CoinFund, DWF Labs, FalconX, Hypersphere, Lemniscap, Nascent, Republic Digital, Selini, Sigil Fund, Susquehanna Crypto, Tioga Capital, and Virtuals Protocol. 🔗x.com/flyingtulip_/status/2025902438461440103 @TOP7ICO

IoTeX Bridge Hacked: Losses Estimated $2M+ IoTeX has confirmed a exploit targeting its cross-chain bridge. According to the team, the confirmed losses amount to approximately $2M in USDC, USDT, IOTX, and WBTC – with some estimates suggesting the total damage could reach up to $8M. $IOTX dropped 23% to $0.0043 following the hack, with South Korean exchanges Upbit and Bithumb adding the token to their delisting watchlists.

The situation has been contained and IoTeX is actively working with exchanges and law enforcement to freeze and recover stolen funds. Chain operations and deposits are expected to resume within 24–48 hours once security upgrades are finalized. @TOP7ICO
