Coinbase Launches Prediction Market for Minnesota Gas Prices

Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange, has launched a new prediction market that allows users to bet on future events. The market is currently focused on gas prices in Minnesota and will expire on September 17, 2026, unless an outcome occurs before then.

The current price of the contract reflects the market's odds: $103 with no volume detected, making it a low-risk investment for users who think gas prices will remain stable. If gas prices do increase, the payout for each contract would be $1.

Coinbase emphasizes that trading prediction markets involves substantial risk and may result in the loss of your entire investment. This product is not in the scope of crypto asset services provided under MiCA by Coinbase Luxembourg S.A.
