BNB Chain has advanced its prediction markets strategy with the launch of Predict, a platform built to keep user funds productive during active positions.
The rollout followed commentary from Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, who highlighted the project’s background on X. His update referenced the founders’ prior experience at Binance and the incubating role of YZi Labs.
The move signaled renewed momentum in BNB Chain’s effort to strengthen its presence in prediction-based trading.
Predict extends BNB Chain’s 2025 roadmap
CZ stated that his post did not represent an endorsement but aimed to welcome the project to the network.
Predict introduced a model where staked liquidity earns yield while events remain unresolved. The team described this structure as a way to improve capital efficiency.
This feature aligned with BNB Chain’s long-term plan released in September 2025, which emphasized low fees and quick settlement as competitive advantages.
Predict entered the ecosystem soon after that roadmap emerged. The team said they intend to help BNB Chain become a leading environment for prediction markets.
Their strategy includes deeper markets, improved workflow clarity, and stronger liquidity mechanisms. They attributed these goals to rising momentum in a sector that surpassed one billion dollars in trading volume during 2025.
The project gained early visibility when users on X requested access to its waitlist. Many pointed to the yield-generating system as the main attraction.
DeFi participants also discussed potential integrations that could direct liquidity across the chain.
Yield-based design tests competitive landscape
CZ’s post referenced Predict.fun, a platform that allows users to place bets while their locked funds continue to earn. This structure addresses a common inefficiency in long-duration markets. Competing platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi now use staking rewards and incentives to reduce the opportunity cost for traders.
Predict.fun listed two active markets and recorded a combined volume of roughly $300,000. The site claimed to have over 12,000 users and nearly 300,000 bets.
The BNB Chain faces a stablecoin liquidity gap that limits capital for new entrants.
The sector’s concentration reinforces this challenge. Polymarket has processed more than $3 billion in total volume, while Kalshi stands at roughly $587 million.
Smaller venues like Limitless have cleared about $10.9 million, according to Polymarket Analytics.
Predict.fun benefits from BNB Chain’s large user base. On-chain data showed active wallets nearly doubled in the past year, giving the network a 25% share, according to Token Terminal.
The key test now is whether Predict.fun can build consistent activity and challenge smaller competitors. BNB Chain said the rollout fits its broader plan to raise retention and throughput across the network.
