[PRESS RELEASE – Stockholm, Sweden, June 4th, 2026]
Decentralized prediction market platform lets participants launch their own World Cup markets, trade with leverage of up to 2.5x, and earn fees on the markets they create.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup starting on June 11, Premu, a decentralized prediction market platform, is emphasizing a core feature that differentiates it from centrally operated venues: anyone can create a market on a World Cup outcome, publish it instantly, and earn a share of the fees generated by trading in that market.
Instead of waiting for a platform operator to list a contract, Premu users can launch simple yes-or-no markets on questions such as which team advances from a group, who reaches the final, or the result of an individual match. Markets are created permissionlessly by posting a bond in USDC, and the market creator receives fees on every trade executed. Positions can be traded with leverage up to 2.5x using isolated or cross margin. All activity settles on-chain in USDC across the Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base networks.
The announcement comes as interest in prediction markets grows beyond niche communities into a broader public audience. Participants increasingly use event-based markets for forecasting and real-time information, and major sporting events typically attract significant trading volume. The World Cup, a 104-match tournament running through July 19, is among the largest events for market activity 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 such as Polymarket versus Kalshi have highlighted differences in market structure, regulatory posture, and listing methods between centralized and decentralized models. Premu positions itself as a decentralized prediction market where participants define the market list instead of a central operator, an approach the company says is well suited to fast-moving events where demand can shift quickly between fixtures.
Beyond sports, Premu supports markets covering cryptocurrency, politics, culture, technology, economics, and other global events. The platform also offers rapid five-minute markets to trade price direction for assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. User balances are held in on-chain vault contracts that can be independently verified; deposits and withdrawals are recorded as on-chain events rather than processed through a custodial intermediary.
The Premu platform is accessible globally via its web application at https://premu.xyz.
