In latest BNB news, Binance founder Changpeng “CZ’’ Zhao drew fresh attention this week after sharing a new update on BNB Chain prediction market.
He highlighted predict.fun, a platform created by a former Binance staffer that lets users earn yield while their positions stay open.
In simple terms, the project gives users a place to make predictions and still collect passive income on funds that would normally sit idle.
According to CZ, it marks another step toward making on-chain markets more engaging and efficient.
BNB News: CZ Unveils Predict.fun, A Yield-Generating Prediction Market On BNB Chain
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao ‘CZ’ turned the spotlight onto a new BNB Chain prediction market this week.
In a post on X, he pointed to predict.fun, a project built by a former Binance team member. The platform lets people make predictions while their unused funds quietly earn yield in the background.
CZ said the idea is to create a market where users can place wagers without leaving their money idle.
The new approach addresses a long-standing issue in trading: funds often sit idle with no returns while users wait for events to settle.
According to industry observers, platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi are tackling this by adding rewards on top of their prediction markets.
Staking bonuses, treasury incentives, and points systems now give users a way to earn while they participate, making long-term markets more engaging and profitable.
The new predictions markets platform will list two active markets, with total volume sitting near $300,000.
However, an industry analyst noted that the gap between Predict.fun and the major players is still massive.
Polymarket has already moved more than $3 billion in trading volume, while Kalshi sits near $587 million.
Even smaller competitors are ahead. Limitless, for example, has cleared roughly $10.9 million, based on data from Polymarket Analytics.
The pattern shows how liquidity favors established platforms. Newcomers often get a short-term boost when they launch reward campaigns.
However, keeping users engaged becomes difficult once the incentives disappear.
BNB Chain’s Large User Base Helps, But Limited Stablecoin Liquidity Remains A Challenge
In the latest BNB news according to Changpeng Zhao ‘CZ’, Predict.fun is leaning on BNB Chain for its massive user base.
The chain leads all networks in active wallets, and on-chain analytics show its active addresses have nearly doubled over the past year.
Token Terminal estimates BNB Chain holds about 25% of the market share. Despite this strong user base, BNB Chain has a notable gap in stablecoin issuance.
This limits the liquidity available for Predict.fun, analysts say. The real test for the platform will be whether it can compete with smaller rivals like Limitless and build consistent trading volume.
BNB Chain’s large audience may help, but it does not guarantee success in a market where liquidity quickly creates advantages.
The BNB news came just after the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) Gaming Division raised concerns over unlicensed gambling.
The regulator issued cease and desist orders to KalshiEX LLC, Robinhood Derivatives, LLC, and Crypto.com.
Officials said these platforms are operating without proper licenses, primarily offering sports betting services.
