Coinbase Launches Prediction Markets for Various Events
A new era of Coinbase has begun to offer prediction markets on various events, including sports outcomes. The platform allows users to trade contracts based on future events, with prices reflecting market odds. For example, a user can buy 'Yes' contracts for an event to happen or 'No' contracts if it won't.
The platform currently features a contract between ENCE Prospects and Passion Academy in the Map 2 - Coinbase market, where users can bet on various outcomes with $200 at stake. The market is set to expire by September 20, 2026, unless an outcome occurs first.
It's essential for users to understand the product and its risks before trading prediction contracts. Trading involves substantial risk and may result in the loss of entire investments. Users must also complete onboarding to Coinbase Financial Markets (CFM) and fund their accounts to start trading.
