Coinbase Launches Prediction Market for Scotland vs Slovenia Match

Coinbase has introduced a prediction market for the outcome of the Scotland vs Slovenia match, allowing users to trade contracts on the event. The market, which closed on October 6, 2026, saw a total trading interest of $1,537,310.78 and a total value of $3.1 million. The market was set to expire when an outcome occurred or by the specified date, whichever came first.

Prediction markets on Coinbase operate by letting users buy and sell contracts on future events. Each contract pays $1 if the event happens and $0 if it does not. The price of the contract reflects the market’s odds. For example, a price of $0.65 indicates a 65% chance of the event occurring. Users can trade contracts on a variety of outcomes, including sports events like the Scotland vs Slovenia match.

To participate, users need a Coinbase account and must complete onboarding with Coinbase Financial Markets (CFM), which includes identity verification and basic income/net worth details. Once approved, users can fund their accounts and start trading using cash (USD and USDC) from their main Coinbase account. Settlement of contracts is based on an independent, regulated exchange determining the result using a stated “source of truth.”

Coinbase emphasizes that trading prediction contracts involves substantial risk and may result in the loss of the entire investment.
