Crypto exchanges expand into prediction markets as token trading declines

Hedgeweek, citing a Financial Times report, says crypto exchanges are accelerating expansion into prediction markets as falling digital asset prices and declining trading volumes push platforms to diversify revenue. The post states Blockchain.com applied last week for a US licence to offer regulated prediction markets, and that Binance US has also recently sought regulatory approval, joining Coinbase, Crypto.com and Gemini. It reports Bitcoin and ether fell 28% and 42% respectively over the past year, while XRP and Solana lost around half their value.
