Coinbase is taking prediction markets mainstream.

The exchange has officially rolled out its “Predict” feature for American users via its partnership with Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated platform valued at $11B. Users can now wager on sports, politics, entertainment, economic events, and more—all from the latest Coinbase app.

CEO Brian Armstrong called prediction markets “the ultimate form of truth seeking”, noting that real stakes produce more reliable outcomes than biased opinions.

With weekly trading volumes topping $6.18B and 357,000+ active users, Coinbase is stepping firmly into the rapidly growing prediction market space.
