Small businesses are starting to use prediction markets to hedge tariffs, shipping costs, and bad weather.
Tea company Zest used a prediction market payout to help offset tariff-related lost sales.
Its founder also helped develop a contract that pays when container shipping costs exceed certain thresholds.
