CZ Announces New Prediction Market for BNB Chain: PredictFun

This initiative, developed by a former Binance employee, allows users to earn passive income on locked funds during open positions, solving the problem of inefficient capital utilization while awaiting event outcomes. PredictFun already boasts over 12,000 users, nearly 300,000 bets, and about $300,000 in total trading volume across two markets, though it still lags behind market leaders like Polymarket with $3 billion in volume and Kalshi with $587 million.

Integration with BNB Chain, which leads in the number of active wallets (nearly doubling in the last year and holding 25% of the market), could significantly accelerate the platform's adoption. BNB Chain has a large user base, making it ideal for such projects. However, challenges include limited stablecoin issuance on the network, which impacts liquidity, and competition from established platforms where liquidity advantages only intensify.

Prediction Markets are becoming a new trend in the world of cryptocurrencies. According to data, trading volume on prediction platforms reached over $27.9 billion from January to October 2025, indicating rapid growth in interest in this segment. Such markets allow forecasting real-world events, such as Bitcoin prices, election results, or Federal Reserve policy, and are attracting attention from Wall Street, where surveys show strong interest in crypto predictions. Platforms like Polymarket have received approval from the CFTC, contributing to their revival and expansion, including mobile apps.

This launch could boost activity on BNB Chain, but new players like PredictFun must fight to retain users after incentives end. Overall, the emergence of such platforms highlights the evolution of the crypto market toward event-driven finance, where users not only place bets but also earn on their capital.
