How prediction markets work
Five minutes to understand the most powerful tool for forecasting the future.
Pick a market
Browse hundreds of YES/NO markets across politics, crypto, sports, finance, and tech.
Buy YES or NO
Prices range from 1¢ to 99¢ and reflect the market's real-time probability estimate.
Trade or hold
Sell anytime before resolution, or hold to expiry to claim full payout.
Get paid out
Winning shares pay $1 each, settled to your wallet within minutes of market resolution.
A quick example
Suppose "Will Bitcoin close above $200,000 by end of 2026?" trades at 42¢ YES. The market estimates a 42% probability. You buy 100 YES shares for $42. If Bitcoin closes above $200K, you receive $100 — a $58 profit. If it doesn't, your shares expire worthless.
