XBIT DEX opens whitelist for World Cup prediction leverage

XBIT DEX opened a whitelist for its Prediction Leverage ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and launched a $35,000 USDC campaign offering 2–5x dynamic leverage on World Cup prediction contracts.

XBIT DEX opened a whitelist for a new Prediction Leverage product ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and launched a two-week trading campaign with a 35,000 USDC prize pool. The campaign runs May 26 to June 10 and offers dynamic 2–5x leverage on World Cup-related prediction contracts.

The product is designed for event-based prediction contracts, which trade on a scale from 0 to 100 and settle in a binary outcome. XBIT DEX built a separate leveraged lending system for these contracts because their settlement and pricing behavior differs from continuous-price derivatives.

Under the platform design, leveraged orders execute against order flow from external prediction markets. Funding-rate mechanics used in perpetual contracts are replaced with borrowing interest that changes based on supply and demand. Risk controls include extreme-value liquidation and automatic adjustment of leverage as events approach settlement.

XBIT DEX chose sports events for the initial rollout because matches have clear settlement criteria and concentrated, time-synced order flow. The platform has listed leveraged prediction positions for multiple teams in the 2026 World Cup and said leverage will adjust in real time. The tournament begins June 11 with 48 teams and 104 matches over 39 days. The feature is expected to open platform-wide before kickoff.

Whitelist spots are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Users can apply at app.xbit.com/whitelist and may unlock eligibility by meeting designated trading milestones. The company reported more than 1,700 users on the waitlist during testing.

Monthly trading volume in on-chain prediction markets exceeded $25 billion in March 2026, a year-over-year increase of more than 20 times. XBIT DEX operates as a decentralized aggregated trading platform supporting perpetual contracts and prediction markets, covers more than 150 tokens and is planning RWA US stock trading. The company described the launch as the first instance of leverage functionality on a decentralized exchange in the prediction market category.

Full campaign and whitelist details are available on the platform’s whitelist page.
