Roundhill set a May 5 effective date for six prediction market ETFs, and Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said they could become the first such U.S. products as trading activity in the sector continues to grow.

Summary

Roundhill set a May 5 effective date in an amended SEC filing for six prediction market ETFs, which Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said could become the first U.S. prediction market ETFs. The updated filing adds to earlier reporting that Roundhill is pursuing event-based ETF products, while similar proposals from GraniteShares and Bitwise remain in play. The new report also said prediction market trading volume reached $25.7 billion in March, up 10.6% from the previous month.
