Sports-betting stocks tumbled in Tuesday trading as investors worried about new competitors.
Shares of DraftKings and FanDuel parent Flutter Entertainment each sank more than 10%. Some investors think fast-growing prediction markets are poised to take a bite out of the traditional sports gambling business. Prediction markets allow users to buy and sell event contracts tied to yes-or-no questions about future events.
On Monday, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said more than four billion such contracts have been traded on the brokerage's platform. The company's shares surged afterward. Through the Robinhood app, users can bet on the outcome of football games, tennis tournaments and other sporting events.
Kalshi, the exchange with which Robinhood partners to offer the contracts, introduced sports betting earlier this year and has emerged as a competitor to platforms like DraftKings and FanDuel.
