Magic Eden's Jack Lu plans for prediction market 'speculation supercycle' with Dicey launch and ME rewards

On Monday, Magic Eden CEO and co-founder Jack Lu said the firm is preparing for a coming "speculation supercycle", as prediction markets posted a record $814.2 million in daily trading volume. Magic Eden will roll out its Dicey crypto casino and sportsbook this quarter and route 15% of platform revenue to ME tokenholders via USDC buybacks and staking rewards. This strategy comes after the NFT market cap dropped from $7.95 billion to $2.5 billion in 2025 but has climbed back above $3 billion in early 2026.
