Coinbase has rolled out prediction markets to users across the US. The product is now available in all 50 states through the company’s main platform. Coinbase prediction markets are presented as an alternative to traditional fixed-odds models.

• Coinbase confirmed that eligible users can now trade prediction markets nationwide. The contracts cover real-world outcomes linked to areas such as sports, politics and culture. Pricing is determined by market activity rather than being set by an operator.

• In a promotional post, Coinbase contrasted the model with traditional betting formats. “Out: Odds set by the house. In: Price set by the crowd,” Coinbase said. The message focuses on user-driven price discovery and open market dynamics.

• The prediction markets are structured as regulated futures-style contracts. These are offered by Coinbase Financial Markets, a registered NFA member firm. The company noted that trading prediction contracts involves substantial risk and may not be suitable for all users.

• Coinbase prediction markets form part of a broader expansion beyond spot crypto trading. The group has increased its focus on derivatives and alternative trading products in recent years. The new markets add exposure to event-based outcomes alongside existing offerings.
