With the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicking off next month, prediction market Myriad has launched a $100,000 trading competition in collaboration with Layer-1 blockchain D.Energy. “We’re thrilled to be running this contest during the World Cup,” said Myriad Co-Founder and President Farokh Sarmad, highlighting the global stage to showcase prediction markets.
The contest features over 75 multi-binary markets, enabling users to make predictions on every single World Cup match. Consequently, the top three traders will receive $20,000, $10,000, and $5,000 respectively from the prize pool.
Meanwhile, an additional $10,000 is split among the rest of the contest leaderboard. Furthermore, top market makers can draw on a weekly pool of $5,000 in rewards for the entire duration of the contest.
This initiative builds on Myriad’s recent collaborations with Chainlink, whose oracles provide market resolution, and new tech partner 55 Tech for real-time sports data. However, the platform’s expansion was paved by a “milestone” seed investment round closed earlier this year, according to CEO Loxley Fernandes.
The tournament opens on June 11 with hosts Mexico facing South Africa, which Myriad users give just a 13% chance to win. The event is the world’s biggest, with around 1.5 billion global viewers for the last final, according to FIFA.
