Capital Gathering, the private community connecting the region’s active founders, investors, and C-level executives across Web3, AI, and emerging tech, is hosting its third edition in Dubai. The theme: Prediction Markets, one of the fastest-growing verticals in finance right now.
With Token2049 Dubai postponed, the community didn’t disperse. Capital Gathering continues the momentum. The evening takes place at Birds, a fine dining venue 63 floors above the city with Burj Khalifa views with no panels and no pitch decks.
The topic isn’t accidental. Prediction markets hit nearly $26B in monthly volume in January 2026, up 13 times year-over-year. Driven by macro volatility, geopolitics, and a new wave of users, they’re moving from niche to real financial infrastructure. The key questions now: regulation, liquidity, and who’s building the foundations.
Tools like Pulse, the event’s co-sponsor, are already answering that last question, giving retail users institutional-grade access to prediction markets in one place.
Capital Gathering was founded by Kristina Berezina and Daria Pakina, two Web3 founders who have spent years inside the ecosystem. The F1 Abu Dhabi edition last December welcomed over 300 guests to a private rooftop near Yas Marina Circuit. The Christmas edition at Armani/Privé inside the Burj Khalifa followed weeks later. With this third Edition, the Capital Gathering community is growing, and the conversation becomes even sharper.
“Dubai doesn’t wait for the next conference. The people shaping this space are here, so it makes sense to build the evening around that,” said Kristina, co-founder of Capital Gathering.
“This space is moving fast, legislation, liquidity, who’s building the infrastructure underneath it all. Dubai is definitely part of this conversation,” added Daria, co-founder of Capital Gathering.
