[Goldman Sachs CEO Praises Prediction Markets, Plans to Enter Real-World Event Trading] According to a report by Jinse Finance, Goldman Sachs Group is exploring opportunities in the prediction market, aiming to enable the investment bank to benefit from this rapidly growing field of betting on real-world events. The company's CEO, David Solomon, described prediction markets as 'very interesting' and revealed that over the past two weeks, he personally met with the heads of two of the largest prediction market companies in the field. 'We have a team here engaging with them and conducting research,' Solomon said during the bank's Thursday analyst call following the release of its fourth-quarter earnings report. The entry of this mainstream Wall Street institution into the prediction market could enhance the legitimacy and trading volume of this relatively lightly regulated but thriving financial niche. Some market-making firms have already joined the race.
