Coinbase Enters Booming Prediction Market Arena via Kalshi Partnership

The red-hot prediction market sector is attracting another major player: Coinbase. Evidence from leaked screenshots confirms the crypto exchange is developing its own platform, built atop the regulated infrastructure of Kalshi.

This strategic move allows Coinbase to quickly enter a high-growth market while mitigating regulatory risk.

The leaked images detail a sophisticated interface for trading event contracts in categories from politics to science, supporting both fiat and USDC. This follows the companies’ recently announced custody partnership and signals a deepening alliance.

For Coinbase, this is a direct play to capture a share of the record volumes reported by platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, advancing its “everything exchange” vision by blending crypto with event-based trading.
