Binance Rolls Out Prediction Markets in App via Predict.fun

Binance has fully rolled out prediction markets within its app through an integration with Predict.fun, the largest prediction market provider on BNB Smart Chain, marking the feature’s move beyond beta testing into a zero-fee, gas-sponsored experience for all users.

What Binance Announced With Predict.fun

Prediction markets are platforms where users buy and sell contracts tied to the outcome of real-world events. Contracts trade between $0.01 and $0.99, with the price reflecting the market’s implied probability of that outcome occurring.

The full rollout on April 9 brings prediction markets out of beta and into the main Binance Wallet interface. Users can access markets using existing account balances without needing to bridge funds or set up a separate wallet.

How Users Access Prediction Markets in the App

The integration uses keyless multi-party computation (MPC) wallet technology, meaning users interact with on-chain markets without managing private keys. Both market and limit orders are supported.

Binance is sponsoring all gas costs associated with prediction market trades and settlements, creating a fully zero-fee experience. This removes a friction point that has historically kept casual users away from on-chain applications.

Winson Liu, Global Lead of Binance Wallet, framed the launch as part of a broader product push:

“This is part of our broader effort to make Binance more useful day to day by reducing friction and expanding the range of on-chain use cases available through Binance Wallet.”

How Prediction Markets Fit Binance’s Product Strategy

Monthly prediction market trading volumes have surged to over $20 billion, a 200-fold increase in two years. Polymarket and Kalshi currently dominate with 97% market share, leaving Binance as a late but well-resourced entrant.

Binance’s edge is distribution. With prediction markets now sitting alongside spot trading, futures, staking, and NFTs inside a single app, users encounter the feature without downloading a new platform. This mirrors the super-app strategy that has driven engagement across Binance’s product suite, similar to how the exchange has expanded into security partnerships and broader ecosystem services.

New Users vs. Advanced Traders

For newer users, the zero-fee structure and one-click funding lower the barrier to experimenting with prediction markets. Binary outcomes (yes/no contracts) are simpler to grasp than perpetual futures or options strategies.

For advanced traders, the integration offers a new venue for expressing directional views on events outside of pure price action. Unlike traditional prediction markets where capital sits idle, Predict.fun enables positions to earn yield while markets remain open, a DeFi-native feature that standalone platforms like Polymarket do not offer.

The timing is notable given the broader market environment. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 14, deep in “Extreme Fear” territory, yet Binance is shipping new product features rather than pulling back. BNB is trading at $604.51 with a market cap of $82.54 billion.

Key Risks and What to Watch Next

Regulatory Considerations

Prediction markets operate in a regulatory gray area across most jurisdictions. Binance has positioned itself as a technology provider rather than the market counterparty, and the integration is not available in every region where Binance operates. Geographic restrictions suggest the exchange is navigating jurisdiction-specific rules carefully.

In the U.S., platforms like Kalshi have gained CFTC approval, while offshore platforms face ongoing scrutiny. Binance’s third-party integration model, routing through Predict.fun rather than operating markets directly, appears designed to maintain regulatory distance. This echoes how speculative market products increasingly require careful compliance framing.

The parallel rollout through Binance-owned Trust Wallet, which also added prediction markets via Myriad Markets and Predict.fun, signals a coordinated ecosystem push rather than a one-off feature test.

User Due Diligence Checklist

• Confirm prediction markets are available in your region before attempting to access the feature
• Understand that binary contracts can expire worthless, resulting in full loss of the position
• Review settlement mechanics and resolution sources for each market before placing trades
• Note that while gas fees are sponsored, market risk on positions remains entirely with the user

The next milestones to watch include whether Binance expands the range of available prediction market categories, whether the fee sponsorship model proves sustainable at scale, and whether institutional-grade market participants begin using the platform alongside retail traders.
