The broader category of prediction markets that financialize real disasters — wildfires, storms, and similar events — turning their outcomes into tradeable contracts, of which wildfire betting is one specific example.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Wildfire betting is just the first disaster market, expect storm and flood contracts to follow."

LORE & ORIGIN

Forecast directly from the wildfire-betting controversy as the general pattern it represents, naming the category before it's clear which other disaster types will get their own contracts next.
