Prediction Markets

Trade YES/NO outcomes on real-world events — sports, crypto prices, politics, economics — directly from your wallet.

How a prediction market works

Every market is a binary question with a deadline: "Will the Fed cut rates in September?" Each side is a contract priced between $0 and $1, and the price is the market's live probability — YES at $0.66 means the market collectively estimates a 66% chance.

When the event resolves:

  • Contracts on the correct side pay out $1 each
  • Contracts on the wrong side expire at zero

Buy YES at $0.66 and be right → $0.34 profit per contract. You can also sell before resolution at the current price, locking a profit or cutting a loss without waiting for the outcome.

Trading on Zipmex

  • Open Predict and pick a market. Cards show live YES/NO prices and volume.
  • Choose a side and an amount. You sign the transaction with your own wallet — positions are held on-chain, not in an account.
  • Track open positions in the Predict portfolio. Sell any time before resolution, or hold to settlement.

Claiming winnings

After a market resolves in your favour, claim the payout from your portfolio. The claim is a transaction you sign; network costs for claims are sponsored, so redeeming is free.

Settlement pays out in jupUSD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin used by the market infrastructure. It is redeemable one-to-one and can be swapped to USDC right in the app if you prefer holding USDC.

What moves prices

Prediction prices move on news, exactly like any market. Early prices on new markets can be thin — check the volume figure before sizing a position, and expect wider spreads on low-volume markets.

Prediction markets are speculative. A contract on the wrong side of a resolved event is worth zero. Product availability may depend on your jurisdiction.
