PancakeSwap Expands Prediction Market to Include Bitcoin and Ethereum

PancakeSwap, a decentralized exchange, has added Bitcoin and Ethereum to its prediction market feature. This allows users to predict the price movements of these assets in five-minute rounds, expanding beyond the existing BNB market.

Key Features

  • Users bet if the asset’s price will rise ("UP") or fall ("DOWN").
  • BNB is used for predictions, with a minimum entry of 0.001 BNB.
  • Total prize pool grows as more bets are placed, influencing reward multipliers.
  • Winners claim rewards immediately after each round.
  • A 3% fee on winning bets contributes to CAKE token burn weekly.

Market Dynamics

  • PancakeSwap's model offers short-term, binary outcomes similar to binary options.
  • Designed for high user engagement through its gamified approach.
  • Especially suited for volatile assets like BNB, which recently hit $907.33.
