Overview
- Coinbase announced the rollout on Jan. 28, bringing in-app event markets to its entire U.S. customer base.
- Traders can buy contracts on sports, politics, culture, collectibles, and economic indicators, with prices reflecting market probability.
- The feature operates nearly around the clock, pausing for a brief weekly maintenance window early Thursday mornings.
- The expansion comes as Kalshi faces lawsuits from states such as Tennessee and Massachusetts over sports-related listings.
- The move advances Coinbase’s “everything exchange” strategy following its December purchase of The Clearing Company and arrives ahead of the Super Bowl.
