Lately to gain popularity exchanges are starting to add prediction markets based on crypto events.
We can remember ETF betting, which was even on Bitshares Network and betting if Craig Wright will sign Satoshi Nakamoto private keys from first transactions.
Now during the SegWith and BitcoinUnlimited fight exchanges went futher. Some started allowing to trade BCC and BCU tokens.
Now BitMex Added 2 Binary Trading Options
Markets For Now
So for now people predict bigger blocks instead of SegWit.

This is a very interesting turn of event. Are the main exchanges doing so all ver the world? If not, this move might actually take away some credibility to the world of digital currencies. Just a thought... Thanks for sharing, namaste :)

One of our major problems with Segwit right now is the technical feasibility.
If Segwit was implemented now it would cost us a vast amount of hash power, unfortunately. So I'm skeptical that problem will be solved anytime soon.

On BTC it seems it can be activated only by USAF now.. Also it needs 95% which is pretty impossible
