Coinbase Launches Prediction Market for Eagles vs Jaguars Game
Coinbase has launched a prediction market allowing users to bet on the outcome of the PHI Eagles vs JAC Jaguars game. The market, set to expire on October 13, 2026, offers a payout of $188 for correct predictions, with an interest of $102,049.96 and a 24-hour trading volume of $38,955.51. The total market value stands at $119K.
The prediction market operates on a simple principle: users can buy 'Yes' or 'No' contracts, with each contract paying $1 if the predicted outcome occurs. The price reflects the market's odds, such as $0.65 indicating a 65% chance of the event happening. If the user's prediction is correct, they earn $1 per contract minus the price they paid.
To participate, users need a Coinbase account and must complete onboarding with Coinbase Financial Markets (CFM). This includes identity verification and providing basic income/net worth details. Funds from the main Coinbase account can be used for trading, with settled positions transferring back to the main account. Settlement is based on an independent, regulated exchange using a stated 'source of truth' to determine the result.
The market has specific trading prohibitions, including restrictions on current players, coaches, staff, paid employees, owners, and persons with material, non-public information. Trading is available 24/7, except during the weekly maintenance window from Thursday 3:00-5:00 am ET.
