With the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicking off on June 11, decentralized prediction market platform Premu is putting its defining feature front and center: any participant can create a market on a World Cup outcome, set it live, and earn a share of the fees generated by trading in that market.
Rather than waiting for a platform to list a contract, Premu participants can launch a yes-or-no market on any question — which team advances from a group, who reaches the final, the result of a single fixture — permissionlessly, by posting a bond in USDC. The market creator earns a fee on every trade placed, turning market creation into an active source of income rather than a passive activity.
Positions can be traded with up to 2.5x leverage using isolated or cross-margin, with all activity settled on-chain in USDC across Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base.
The launch arrives at a moment of genuine momentum for prediction markets, which have moved from a niche tool into mainstream visibility over the past year. Major sporting events have historically driven some of the highest trading volumes on these platforms — and the World Cup, a 104-match tournament running through July 19, ranks among the largest events on the 2026 calendar.
 
“Sporting events like the World Cup tend to generate questions faster than any central team can list them,” said Chadi Farhat, Chief Technology Officer at Premu. “Allowing participants to create their own markets, and to earn from the activity they bring, means the platform can keep pace with each stage of a tournament as it unfolds.”
Industry comparisons between platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi have drawn growing attention to differences in market structure, regulatory approaches, and the listing of contracts across centralized and decentralized models. Premu positions itself firmly in the decentralized camp — where the market list is defined by participants themselves rather than a central operator. The company says this model is particularly well-suited to fast-moving events like the World Cup, where demand can shift rapidly between fixtures and centralized platforms struggle to keep pace.
Beyond sports, Premu supports markets across cryptocurrency, politics, culture, technology, economics, and global events — including rapid five-minute markets on the price direction of assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Balances are held in on-chain vault contracts that can be independently verified, with deposits and withdrawals recorded as on-chain events rather than processed through a custodial intermediary.
Premu is available globally at premu.xyz.
