Bitget Wallet taps $1.2B World Cup market
Bitget Wallet has launched a World Cup prediction market campaign with Polymarket, giving its 90 million users access to tournament-related markets as sports-driven onchain activity accelerates ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The initiative builds on Bitget Wallet’s existing Polymarket integration and centres on the 2026 tournament in the US, Mexico and Canada, which will feature 48 teams, 104 matches and a 39-day schedule.
“Prediction markets are becoming a new way for people to engage with global events,”
Said Bitget Wallet COO Alvin Kan.
Polymarket’s 2026 FIFA World Cup winner market has already surpassed $1.2 billion in trading volume and attracted more than $280 million in liquidity, with daily trading activity regularly approaching $30 million.
“The World Cup is one of the biggest moments in global sports and this partnership gives fans another way to engage with the tournament,”
Said Polymarket director of growth and partnerships, Elden Mirzoian, following the announcement Bitget Wallet share price was unchanged as the company is privately held.
The campaign includes a $200,000 prize pool spanning champion selection contests, recurring prediction activities and community watch parties designed to make onchain markets more accessible through mobile wallets.
Bitget Wallet said it has upgraded its prediction market infrastructure with a dedicated event data layer, real-time monitoring, score and pricing verification systems and scalable cloud architecture to support increased activity during live match periods, while its Polymarket integration also offers AI-assisted event analysis, smart money tracking and market discovery tools.
