Bitget Wallet Integrates Polymarket Ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup

Bitget Wallet has rolled out a new World Cup prediction feature in partnership with Polymarket, giving its 90 million users easier access to on-chain prediction markets. The launch arrives as interest in World Cup prediction markets climbs ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The feature brings Polymarket's prediction markets directly into Bitget Wallet, where users can make event predictions from their self-custodial wallet while leaning on AI tools for market insights and analysis. Self-custody, AI tooling, and sports betting: a fairly modern fan kit.

Strong Demand for World Cup Prediction Markets. According to Bitget Wallet, the 2026 FIFA World Cup Winner market on Polymarket has recorded more than $1.2 billion in trading volume. The market currently holds over $280 million in liquidity. Daily trading volume has crept close to $30 million amid interest in the tournament. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, making it the largest World Cup in history with 48 national teams and 104 matches over 39 days. The trading surge underscores continued appetite for prediction markets, which let users wager on real-world outcomes using blockchain-based platforms.

Bitget Wallet Launches $200,000 Rewards Campaign. As part of the promotion, Bitget Wallet is putting up $200,000 in rewards across three World Cup campaigns. The first, World Cup Champion Pick, runs from June 4 to July 20, letting users predict the tournament winner, invite friends, and earn points, with rewards split among those who pick the actual champion. The second, 20-Day Prediction Streak, runs from June 11 to June 30 and rewards users who make predictions regularly while hitting certain trading goals. Bitget Wallet will also host community watch parties during the tournament, featuring live match discussions, fan streams, and extra rewards. Points, prizes, and football: a familiar combo.

Enhanced Prediction Market Infrastructure. The launch builds on Bitget Wallet's existing integration with Polymarket, allowing users to access prediction markets through a self-custodial wallet. Users also get AI-powered event insights, tools to track market activity, and features designed to surface new markets. To handle the expected traffic surge during live World Cup matches, Bitget Wallet has upgraded its prediction market system, adding an event data network and real-time score verification. The company has also rolled out price-checking systems, monitoring tools, and cloud infrastructure built to absorb large traffic spikes during major games.

Alvin Kan, Chief Operating Officer of Bitget Wallet, said prediction markets are becoming a popular way for people to engage with major global events. He noted the World Cup brings billions of fans together, letting them follow matches, form opinions about outcomes, and respond to events in real time through on-chain markets. Elden Mirzoian, Director of Growth and Partnerships at Polymarket, said the World Cup gives fans another way to participate in the tournament. He added that prediction markets make the experience more interactive by allowing supporters to engage directly with event-based markets.
