Gate News message, April 17 — Sports streaming platform DAZN has partnered with ADI Predictstreet, FIFA’s first official prediction market partner, to introduce a blockchain-backed prediction market feature for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The collaboration, announced in Zurich, will allow users to participate in real-time prediction activities before, during, and after matches, with features including sentiment tracking, interactive prompts, and forecasting experiences tied to match outcomes.
ADI Predictstreet operates on ADI Chain, an institutional-grade Layer 2 blockchain designed to support stablecoins and real-world asset applications, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa region. The platform leverages zero-knowledge proof technology for privacy and scalability, with infrastructure supported by settlement linked to a dirham-backed stablecoin licensed by the central bank of the United Arab Emirates. The blockchain framework has undergone security audits.
ADI Predictstreet recently secured a gambling license in Gibraltar, becoming the first prediction market operator authorized in the jurisdiction. However, the license permits operations only within Gibraltar’s territory. Several European countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Portugal, have imposed restrictions on prediction market operators, which could limit the platform’s deployment in larger markets where DAZN and FIFA have significant audiences.
Although the service was initially scheduled for public launch in early April, its release has been postponed and is currently operating in demonstration mode. Reports indicate that ADI Predictstreet is not currently working with established monitoring firms that FIFA typically engages for gambling oversight. Both DAZN and ADI Predictstreet have indicated plans to expand the prediction market feature across DAZN’s broader sports portfolio beyond the World Cup.

Research reveals: Polymarket players take home 30% of profits by winning 3% of the positions—more than 70% of players absorb all losses
A new study analyzes Polymarket’s trading records from 2023–2025 and shows that only 3.14% of experienced winners control more than 30% of the profits. Crowd participation alone is not enough to explain overall accuracy; at the same time, it tracks 1,950 highly suspicious insider trading accounts that, while not driving predictions, amplified price volatility. The case shows that large bets were placed and profits were made before the U.S. announced developments regarding Venezuela. The research questions “wisdom of crowds” and emphasizes the need for increasingly strict regulation.
