According to industry briefings, Coinbase is weighing an internal prediction market backed by the Kalshi platform as part of broader efforts to expand the exchange’s asset-category coverage amid cautious investor sentiment toward digital assets. The initiative would leverage regulated market primitives to diversify product offerings and potentially attract new client segments.
Sources indicate the arrangement would be non-exclusive at launch, with Kalshi initially operating the market on Coinbase. The talks are described as preliminary, and an official announcement could arrive as soon as next week, depending on due diligence and internal approvals.
Bloomberg and The Information note the rollout could surface during Coinbase’s System Update event on December 17, with additional disclosures about tokenized stock products also on the agenda. Coinbase has not publicly confirmed these reports but intends to provide updates during the event.
