Rain Trade, a new prediction market platform built on Rain Protocol, launched its marketplace during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with former professional boxer Mike Tyson leading its campaign.
The platform allows users to create prediction markets on any topic and in any language, rather than limiting participation to pre-built markets and outcomes determined by a platform operator.

Timed with the World Cup, the campaign invites fans to engage with matches, players, and key tournament moments by creating and trading their own markets.
A Prediction Market Model Built Around User-Created Markets
Rain Trade enables users to create prediction markets on topics of their choice, rather than selecting only from markets created by a platform operator. Users can open public prediction markets, create private invitation-only markets, or participate in existing markets available on the platform.
The platform supports prediction markets across various categories, including sports, FIFA World Cup matches, player performance, and live events. Rain Trade also offers two resolution methods: AI-powered outcomes based on automated data processes and manual resolution managed by market creators.
Additional features include gas-sponsored trading through account abstraction, removing the need for users to manually manage gas fees. The platform also supports cross-chain funding from Arbitrum, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, and Bitcoin, with automatic bridging and conversion into USDT.
Market creators can earn a 1% fee from the trading volume generated by markets they create. Additional rewards are available to users for triggering market closures or proposing accurate resolution outcomes.
Built on Rain Protocol’s Push Into Prediction Market Infrastructure
Rain Trade operates on Rain Protocol, a decentralized protocol that provides the infrastructure to build and launch prediction market applications.
The launch follows Rain Protocol’s announced ecosystem expansion, including a $200 million commitment from Enlivex and a separate $100 million liquidity injection from Rain.
Roy Shaham, CEO of Rain Protocol, said traditional prediction markets have historically limited user participation by controlling which markets could be created and what outcomes could be predicted.
“Traditional prediction markets have operated with a backward mentality,” Shaham stated. “They’ve historically focused on controlling what people can predict rather than giving them the opportunity to create markets themselves.”
He added that the World Cup provides a global stage to demonstrate how prediction markets can evolve when communities directly shape the markets they participate in.
Mike Tyson, who is supporting the platform’s launch campaign during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, said Rain Trade enables users to create markets around topics they care about while comparing expectations with a broader audience.
“Throughout my career, I’ve always respected people who are willing to challenge expectations and build something different,” says a former professional boxer.
“The platform gives people the ability to create markets around the topics they care about and see what millions of others think about the outcomes that matter most.
Prediction Markets Move to Mainstream Fan Engagement
The FIFA World Cup 2026 has accelerated the rise of prediction markets, with platforms seeing record engagement and billions of dollars in trading volume around sports outcomes.
The growth signals a shift from traditional sportsbook betting toward market-based platforms where fans trade contracts representing their views on match results, turning predictions into real-time financial markets.
