Binance is officially stepping into the fast-growing prediction markets sector through a new integration with Predict.fun, marking a major expansion beyond traditional crypto trading.
The new feature—currently in beta—will be integrated directly into the Binance Wallet, allowing users to trade on real-world outcomes without leaving the platform.
Users will be able to place positions on events across:
