Coinbase's prediction markets operate under strict rules to ensure fairness and transparency.

Additionally, those with material, non-public information or employed by specific agencies are also restricted from participating.
To trade on Coinbase's prediction markets, users need to complete onboarding with Coinbase Financial Markets (CFM), including identity verification and providing basic income/net worth details. Once approved, users can fund their accounts and start trading using USD or USDC. Settlement of contracts occurs when the event result is confirmed, with payouts made to traders based on the outcome.
