Ivor Wolk to Moderate Panel at DealFlow’s PREDICT 2026 Conference

Manatt Financial Services Partner will moderate “Wall Street Meets Prediction Markets: The Next Frontier for Risk Management” at DealFlow’s PREDICT 2026 Conference on October 7 in New York City. The conference is a forum dedicated to prediction markets and will bring together investors, traders, fintech innovators, policymakers and legal professionals to explore the future of this rapidly evolving sector.

Ivor’s panel will examine the growing interest in prediction markets among investment banks, market-makers and institutional investors as both a new asset class and a source of market intelligence. Discussion topics will include the evolution of event contracts into financial products, opportunities for hedging and risk transfer, the role of market makers in liquidity and price discovery, and the regulatory, clearing and compliance developments necessary for broader institutional adoption. Panelists include Ric Best of Susquehanna, Lloyd Danzig of Sharp Alpha, Filippo Lecchini of Phillip Capital and Kevin McPartland of Crisil Coalition Greenwich.

The panel reflects Ivor's recent work on prediction markets, as well as his broader practice advising asset managers, fintech companies and financial institutions on regulatory compliance, securities law and complex financial products. With more than three decades of experience in private funds, fintech and financial regulation, Ivor will moderate a discussion on the market and regulatory developments shaping the industry's future.
