** Wall Street brokerage Clear Street says 2026 will be a breakthrough year for prediction markets, driving revenue growth and competition

** Major crypto and sports betting players entering asset class to pave way for broader product launches; FIFA World Cup, Winter Olympics, America's 250th anniversary and U.S. midterm elections to capture attention, Clear Street says

** Fanatics, Coinbase COIN.O, FanDuel, DraftKings DKNG.O and Gemini GEMI.O have entered prediction markets in recent weeks

** Total addressable market could grow to $14 billion by 2030, brokerage says

** "While this is a bold prediction, we expect prediction market platforms could evolve into data and analytics companies over the longer term," Clear Street analyst Owen Lau says
