Premu Opens User-Created, Leveraged Prediction Markets Ahead of the 2026 World Cup

Stockholm, Sweden, June 4th, 2026, Chainwire

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 set to begin on June 11, Premu, a decentralized prediction market platform, is highlighting the feature that distinguishes it from centrally operated venues: 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, participants on Premu can launch a yes-or-no market on questions such as which team advances from a group, who reaches the final, or the result of a single fixture. Markets are created permissionlessly by posting a bond in USDC, and the creator earns a fee on every trade placed in the market. Positions can be traded with leverage of up to 2.5 times using isolated or cross margin, with activity settled on-chain in USDC across the Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base networks.

The timing coincides with rising interest in prediction markets, which have moved from a niche tool into wider public view over the past year as participants turn to event-based markets for forecasting and information. Major sporting events have historically drawn some of the highest trading activity to these platforms, and the World Cup, a 104-match tournament running through July 19, ranks among the largest such 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."

Comparisons such as Polymarket vs Kalshi have featured prominently in industry discussion, drawing attention to differences in market structure, regulatory approach, and how markets are listed across centralized and decentralized models. Premu positions itself as a decentralized prediction market in which the market list is defined by participants themselves rather than a central operator, an approach the company says suits fast-moving events where demand can shift between fixtures.

Beyond sports, the platform 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, and deposits and withdrawals are recorded as on-chain events rather than processed through a custodial intermediary.

The Premu platform is available globally through its web application at https://premu.xyz.
