Decentralized prediction market platform Premu has opened its user-created, leveraged markets ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicks off on June 11. Unlike centrally operated venues, Premu allows any participant to create a yes-or-no market on tournament outcomes — from group-stage advancement to individual match results — by posting a bond in USDC. The creator earns a fee on every trade placed in that market.
Traders can take positions with leverage up to 2.5x using isolated or cross margin, with all activity settled on-chain in USDC across the Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base networks. The platform’s CTO, Chadi Farhat, emphasized that user-generated markets let the platform keep pace with fast-moving tournament dynamics where demand shifts between fixtures.
Beyond sports, Premu supports markets across crypto, politics, culture, and economics, including rapid five-minute contracts on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana price direction. Balances reside in on-chain vault contracts that can be independently verified, and all deposits and withdrawals are recorded on-chain — removing custodial risk. The launch comes amid growing interest in prediction markets and debates around centralized versus decentralized models, with Premu positioning itself as a fully permissionless alternative.
