What to know:

  • Coinbase has launched its prediction market platform for U.S. users, allowing them to trade on outcomes of elections, sports, collectibles and economic indicators.
  • The new offering is built in partnership with Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated prediction market operator valued at $11 billion, and uses event-based yes-or-no contracts whose prices reflect market-implied probabilities.
  • By adding prediction markets to its regulated exchange, Coinbase advances its goal of becoming an “everything exchange.”

Coinbase (COIN) has rolled out its new prediction market platform to U.S. users, enabling them to trade on the outcomes of real-world events including elections, sports, collectibles, and economic indicators.

The platform, announced in December, is built in partnership with Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated prediction market operator recently valued at $11 billion. Kalshi offers event-based contracts that function like simplified derivatives—traders buy “yes” or “no” positions on specific outcomes, with the price of each contract reflecting the probability assigned by the market.

The launch, which the crypto exchange announced in a post on X on Wednesday, brings prediction markets to Coinbase’s U.S. user base for the first time, just in time for one of the biggest sports events of the year, the Super Bowl.

Prediction markets have gained renewed attention in the past year with many new entrants competing in the market. Trading volumes on platforms like Polymarket have surged as more users look to express political and economic views through on-chain financial products. These markets are often used to gauge real-time public sentiment and probabilities, with some investors treating them as alternative data sources.

Coinbase’s move into the space could give the sector a significant boost in visibility and liquidity, particularly as it offers access to users through an existing regulated platform. The crypto exchange has long said it wants to become an “everything exchange,” and the launch of prediction markets marks its latest move in that direction.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

What to know:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Egrag Crypto: XRP Could be Around $6 or $7 by Mid-November Based on this Analysis

Egrag Crypto forecasts XRP reaching $6 to $7 by November. Fractal pattern analysis suggests a significant XRP price surge soon. XRP poised for potential growth based on historical price patterns. The cryptocurrency community is abuzz after renowned analyst Egrag Crypto shared an analysis suggesting that XRP could reach $6 to $7 by mid-November. This prediction is based on the study of a fractal pattern observed in XRP’s past price movements, which the analyst believes is likely to repeat itself in the coming months. According to Egrag Crypto, the analysis hinges on fractal patterns, which are used in technical analysis to identify recurring market behavior. Using the past price charts of XRP, the expert has found a certain fractal that looks similar to the existing market structure. The trend indicates that XRP will soon experience a great increase in price, and the asset will probably reach the $6 or $7 range in mid-November. The chart shared by Egrag Crypto points to a rising trend line with several Fibonacci levels pointing to key support and resistance zones. This technical structure, along with the fractal pattern, is the foundation of the price forecast. As XRP continues to follow the predicted trajectory, the analyst sees a strong possibility of it reaching new highs, especially if the fractal behaves as expected.

Egrag Crypto’s focus on a yellow fractal pattern in XRP’s price charts is central to the current forecast. Having contrasted the market scenario at the current period and how it was at an earlier time, the analyst has indicated that XRP might revert to the same price scenario that occurred at a later cycle in the past. Egrag Crypto’s forecast of $6 to $7 is based not just on the fractal pattern but also on broader market trends and technical indicators. The Fibonacci retracements and extensions will also give more insight into the price levels that are likely to be experienced in the coming few weeks. With mid-November in sight, XRP investors and traders will be keeping a close eye on the market to see if Egrag Crypto’s analysis is true. If the price targets are reached, XRP could experience one of its most significant rallies in recent history.
