Coinbase rolls out prediction markets to all U.S. customers

CoinDesk
Coinbase launched its prediction market platform for all U.S. customers in partnership with Kalshi.

Summary

Coinbase has rolled out its new prediction market platform to all U.S. users, allowing them to trade on the outcomes of real-world events like elections, sports, and economic indicators. This feature was developed in partnership with Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated prediction market operator. The platform allows traders to buy "yes" or "no" positions on specific outcomes, with contract prices reflecting market-assigned probabilities. The launch, announced on X, brings prediction markets to Coinbase's U.S. base for the first time, coinciding with the Super Bowl. This move aligns with Coinbase's goal to become an "everything exchange" and is expected to boost visibility and liquidity in the growing prediction market sector.
