Coinbase Launches Nasdaq-100 Prediction Market for September 2026

Coinbase, a leading crypto exchange, has introduced a new prediction market for its users to bet on future events. The focus is on the Nasdaq-100 price on September 30, 2026, at 4pm EDT. This market will close and expire when an outcome occurs or by September 30, 2026, 8:00 PM GMT+0, whichever comes first.

The market has generated significant interest with a total of $14 million in volume, and the current price is at $192, indicating a predicted probability of 65% that the Nasdaq-100 will reach this level on the specified date. This prediction market allows users to trade regulated 'Yes/No' contracts, betting on whether the event will occur or not.

According to Coinbase's rules, trading prohibitions apply to individuals employed by certain agencies and those holding material non-public information about the underlying asset. The exchange emphasizes that trading these contracts involves substantial risk and may result in the loss of investment.
