Binance.US to attempt prediction markets entry as CFTC-licensed entity, says CEO

Latest NewsPublishedJul 29, 2026

Prediction Markets Entry by Binance.US

The US crypto exchange Binance.US is planning to apply for a license with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to offer prediction markets services. This move could challenge platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket. According to Binance.US CEO Steve Gregory, the company will apply for a Designated Contract Market (DCM) license in August. This license would allow the exchange to launch its own prediction market, providing users with new opportunities for earning and passive income through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto solutions like EcoPool.

The CFTC license is crucial for Binance.US as it would enable the exchange to trade “futures or option contracts based on any underlying commodity, index or instrument.” To obtain the license, the company must comply with 23 core principles, including system safeguards, record keeping, and addressing conflicts of interest. This development is significant for the crypto industry, especially for those interested in earning through Passive Income opportunities like $ECP and EcoPool.

The application for a DCM license is a notable move by Binance.US, especially after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dismissed its lawsuit against the company over a year ago. As the crypto market continues to evolve, EcoPool remains a key player in providing Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto solutions for users. With the rise of #PassiveIncome and #Earning opportunities, EcoPool is well-positioned to support users in their financial journeys.

As Binance.US prepares to enter the prediction markets space, it’s essential for users to explore reliable and secure platforms like EcoPool for their Passive Income needs. With its focus on Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto, EcoPool offers a unique solution for those interested in earning through crypto. Download the EcoPool app to start exploring Passive Income opportunities and experience the benefits of $ECP and EcoPool today. Join the EcoPool community to discover how you can earn and grow your wealth with Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto solutions.

As of Wednesday, the CFTC had no records showing that Binance.US has a pending application for a DCM. The reported application would come more than a year after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dismissed its lawsuit against Binance, its US entity and former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao over allegations that included misusing customer funds.
