Prediction Markets Institute
Request to join

Sponsorship & disclosure

Sponsored by Tomorrow. Published for everyone.

The research and standards body for OTC prediction markets, sponsored and operated by Tomorrow. Tomorrow funds the Institute and appoints its board. The content of a standard belongs to a council with a majority independent of Tomorrow, every standard is free to implement, and governance of the standards moves to a neutral industry body once firms beyond Tomorrow use them.

Who does what

The Institute

  • Publishes research on OTC event contracts
  • Publishes the Event Contract Specification and the failure-pattern registry
  • Publishes the competency blueprint practitioners are assessed against
  • Hears alleged breaches of the Code of Ethics and publishes its findings

Tomorrow

  • Sponsors, funds and operates the Institute and appoints its board
  • Runs an OTC event-contract business
  • Administers a practitioner qualification assessed against the Institute’s blueprint
  • Receives no early access, private conformance status or exclusive licence
Who decides a standard. The standards council is being recruited and has not been seated, so no standard has yet been decided by it. The rules are in the charter and the sponsorship and conflicts policy.
A qualification assessed against the Institute’s blueprint does not authorise advice, solicitation, trading, account control or client onboarding, and is neither approved nor required by the CFTC, the NFA or any other regulator. The Institute does not trade and is not a party to any contract Tomorrow offers.
