Prediction Markets
Trade the outcome of a future event. Each market asks one question — Will BTC be above $100,000 at 08:00 UTC on September 30? — and you take a position on YES, NO, or one of several listed outcomes.
Price represents probability
| YES price | Implied probability |
|---|---|
| $0.20 | ~20% |
| $0.50 | ~50% |
| $0.80 | ~80% |
Prices move continuously as traders update their views. In a binary market, YES price + NO price ≈ $1.00 — small gaps come from the spread and available liquidity.
Buy YES when you think the event is more likely than the YES price implies; buy NO when you think it is less likely.
How payouts work
Shares settle after the market resolves: 1 winning share = $1.00, 1 losing share = $0.
Buy 100 YES at $0.60 → cost 100 × $0.60 = $60.
- YES wins:
100 × $1.00 = $100, profit $40. - YES loses:
$0, loss $60.
Fees are excluded from the example.
You can exit before resolution
You do not have to hold to resolution. If there is liquidity, sell at any time: buy YES at $0.40, sell at $0.70, realize the difference. Execution depends on liquidity and the fill price you get.
