The decentralized trading platform dYdX, which focuses on perpetual contracts, has announced its entry into the prediction market, allowing users to leverage the results of binary events.

According to CoinDesk, Charles d'Haussy, CEO of dYdX Foundation, stated in an interview that dYdX will launch perpetual futures based on predictive markets, and pointed out that decentralized finance (DeFi) needs to provide unique services to differentiate itself from centralized platforms. He believes that the prediction market provides an opportunity for DeFi to regain attention, and revealed that the exchange also plans to enter the forex and index markets.

Predicting the market allows investors to bet on the outcome of specific events, including sports events, financial asset prices, political events, and even weather. Augur, launched in 2018, was the first project to predict market concepts, but due to the high cost and low liquidity of the Ethereum memory blockchain at the time, the project was not successful. Nowadays, PolyMarket has become the leader in the on chain prediction market, with its platform's trading volume exceeding $450 million in August 2024. According to DefiLlama's data, the trading volume of dYdX reached 21.2 billion US dollars.

DYdX's entry into the prediction market is part of its dYdX Unlimited upgrade, which is scheduled to be launched later this year and is considered the most significant memory blockchain upgrade to date. According to previous reports from Zombie, this upgrade will introduce new features such as an unlicensed market and a mainstream liquidity pool called MegaVault.
