Episode Details

Blockchain.com unveils SnapMarkets, a rapid-fire bitcoin price betting platform with stakes starting at $1, settling every 30 seconds. This launch coincides with the surge in prediction markets, with Polymarket and Kalshi reaching $24 billion in trading volume last April. Regulatory drama unfolds as CFTC regulators become more accommodating, while states like Wisconsin face lawsuits for gambling crackdowns. SnapMarkets differentiates by focusing on short-term crypto action, offering live chat, leaderboards, and streak tracking. The platform is unavailable in the US and UK due to binary options rules, with more formats on the way. Crypto firms, including Robinhood and Crypto.com, are also entering the fast prediction market scene.
