3 Shifts Edition (Nov 7 2025): What's up with prediction markets, Brokerages offering private shares, Trump's deal on weight-loss drugs

Hi everyone – welcome to your 3 Shifts Edition [AI-generated audio version].First, prediction markets are heating up fast, with trading volumes now topping $2B weekly and a dizzying web of brokerages, exchanges, and crypto and sports-betting players jumping in. Kalshi and Polymarket are leading in a race that’s set to reshape more than one market.Next, big brokerages are pulling open the door to private assets. Schwab is acquiring Forge Global, and Morgan Stanley is buying EquityZen – two of the leading marketplaces for pre-IPO shares. Democratizing access can’t really happen though, until policymakers redefine “accredited investor.”Finally, Trump struck a deal with drugmakers to cut the price of GLP-1 drugs, in exchange for broader coverage, faster FDA review, and a tariff reprieve. Perhaps most impactful in the long run – the most-favored nation pricing will apply to all future drug launches.Enjoy.TamSign up for free briefs mostly written by real people on 6Pages.com
