Jane Manchun Wong Finds Coinbase Building Prediction Markets Platform

Published at 2025-11-19 13:00:22

Tech researcher Jane Manchun Wong — known for uncovering unreleased features at companies like Facebook and X — has reported that Coinbase is developing a prediction markets platform. Wong's discovery suggests the exchange is quietly building functionality for users to trade contracts tied to the outcomes of future events.

A prediction markets product could diversify Coinbase's offerings and increase user engagement if launched, but it also raises regulatory questions in the U.S. around securities, commodities and betting laws. Coinbase has not publicly commented on the report; market watchers and regulators will likely scrutinize further signals as more details or product traces surface.
