Chainlink Powers the Official World Cup Prediction Market Partner

Chainlink has been adopted as the exclusive oracle infrastructure for ADI Predictstreet, the first-ever Official Prediction Market Partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026, the companies announced on June 9, 2026. The integration positions Chainlink as the source of truth for market resolutions and instant payouts across what is set to be the largest sporting event in history, with an estimated audience of over 6 billion fans worldwide.

ADI Predictstreet adopted Chainlink's orchestration standard to enable accurate sports markets and unlock instant payouts. While legacy prediction markets suffer from slow manual resolution and outcome disputes, Chainlink's oracle infrastructure provides a robust source of truth that settles markets accurately without resolution disputes. The opening round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off in just two days, making the timing of the integration directly tied to the tournament's start.

The scale of the event demands exactly this kind of infrastructure. The 2026 FIFA World Cup spans 48 teams, 104 matches, and 16 host cities across Canada, Mexico, and the United States. FIFA World Cup ticket demand has already surpassed 150 million requests from fans in more than 200 countries, requiring high-speed orchestration for fast, accurate settlement of prediction markets at a scale never attempted before.

How the Chainlink Runtime Environment Works

To meet the scale of the World Cup, ADI Predictstreet adopted the Chainlink Runtime Environment, known as CRE, to automate market creation, resolution, and settlement using high-quality FIFA data. The CRE handles the entire lifecycle of a prediction market, from spinning up new markets to resolving outcomes and settling payouts, all driven by authoritative match data.

By leveraging Chainlink, ADI Predictstreet unlocks faster payouts and an improved user experience through fast, accurate market outcomes. The automation removes the friction that has plagued traditional prediction markets, where manual resolution can introduce delays and disputes over outcomes. With Chainlink providing the data and orchestration layer, market settlement becomes near-instant and dispute-free.

Dimitrios Psarrakis, CEO of ADI Predictstreet, framed the integration as central to delivering a seamless experience at global scale. He said Chainlink's proven track record supporting large-scale markets made it a natural choice, enabling transparent outcome resolution, efficient settlement, and fast payouts that establish a new standard for how users engage with live sports prediction markets.

Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, said the company was excited to support ADI Predictstreet's adoption of Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infrastructure. He noted that Chainlink provides the orchestration that unlocks real-time prediction markets settling with high-quality data, leading to fair outcomes and fast payouts, and that the partnership would help redefine how fans interact with live sports.

Chainlink's Track Record at Scale

The integration leans on Chainlink's substantial infrastructure footprint. Chainlink has enabled over 30 trillion USD in transaction value and powers more than 70% of the global DeFi market, giving ADI Predictstreet battle-tested infrastructure for accurate, real-time prediction markets with instant settlement. That scale is a core part of why ADI Predictstreet selected Chainlink as its exclusive oracle provider for the high-stakes World Cup markets.

Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform, bringing capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance. The Chainlink stack provides the data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed for advanced blockchain use cases. Many of the world's largest financial institutions have adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, S&P Dow Jones Indices, FTSE Russell, WisdomTree, and ANZ, alongside top DeFi protocols such as Aave, Lido, and GMX.

By adopting Chainlink, ADI Predictstreet establishes a new benchmark for how fans engage with sporting events and how global sports prediction markets should operate. The partnership tells fans, in Chainlink's framing, that the world's largest sporting event now has a single prediction market oracle backing its official partner.

Inside ADI Predictstreet

ADI Predictstreet is the Official Prediction Markets Partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026, licensed from Gibraltar. The platform lets users forecast the outcomes of real-world events across sports, global news, technology, and cultural moments. By aggregating insights and sentiment from a global community, it transforms collective intelligence into measurable probabilities, creating a new model for interactive forecasting and participation.

The platform is launching first through football, with the World Cup as its flagship debut, but is designed to scale into thousands of prediction markets worldwide. The longer-term vision positions ADI Predictstreet as a platform where individuals and communities engage with and anticipate what happens next across a wide range of event categories. It is built on ADI Chain's institutional-grade infrastructure, designed for transparency, scalability, and real-time performance.

Myriad Markets Brings a Second Chainlink-Powered World Cup Experience

Alongside the ADI Predictstreet partnership, Chainlink is also powering World Cup prediction markets for Myriad Markets. Chainlink announced it is powering new FIFA World Cup prediction markets for Myriad, letting users predict match outcomes for the tournament. Myriad is bringing World Cup markets to users around the world, powered exclusively by Chainlink.

The Myriad campaign comes with a concrete incentive. With 100,000 USD on the line and zero trading fees, Myriad is positioning its World Cup markets as a compelling way for users to back their team and get involved ahead of the tournament. The combination of a sizable prize pool and no trading fees lowers the barrier for participation during the World Cup window.

The Myriad integration builds on an existing relationship. Myriad Markets adopted Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infrastructure to power its crypto prediction markets earlier, with markets for BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL going live with near real-time settlement powered by Chainlink Data Streams. By adopting Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infrastructure, Myriad benefits from accurate market resolutions and fast payouts, and the World Cup prediction markets build directly on its existing use of the Chainlink Runtime Environment to power high-speed crypto markets.

Why Prediction Markets Are Converging on Chainlink

The two announcements together signal a broader trend of major prediction market platforms standardizing on Chainlink's oracle infrastructure for high-stakes, real-time event settlement. Prediction markets live or die on the accuracy and speed of their outcome resolution. A market that settles slowly or disputes its own outcomes erodes user trust, while one that settles instantly and accurately builds it. Chainlink's pitch to both ADI Predictstreet and Myriad centers on solving exactly that problem.

The World Cup represents an ideal proving ground. With 104 matches across a month-long tournament and an audience in the billions, the volume of markets and the speed required to settle them dwarf typical prediction market activity. The Chainlink Runtime Environment's ability to automate the full market lifecycle, from creation through resolution to settlement, is what makes operating at that scale feasible.

Prediction markets have become one of the most active categories in crypto heading into the World Cup, with combined trading volume across major platforms already running into the hundreds of millions of USD for tournament-related markets. The infrastructure layer underpinning those markets has become a competitive differentiator, and Chainlink's positioning as the exclusive oracle for the official FIFA World Cup prediction partner places it at the center of that activity.

What Comes Next

With the opening round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicking off in two days, both the ADI Predictstreet and Myriad Markets prediction markets are positioned to go live for the tournament. ADI Predictstreet, as the official partner, will run its markets on Chainlink's exclusive oracle infrastructure, automating creation, resolution, and settlement for the full slate of 104 matches. Myriad will run its own World Cup markets with a 100,000 USD prize pool and zero trading fees, also powered exclusively by Chainlink.

For now, the message from Chainlink is clear. The world's largest sporting event has a single prediction market oracle backing its official partner, built to deliver fast, accurate, and dispute-free settlement to a global audience. As the tournament gets underway across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the infrastructure powering how billions of fans engage with World Cup prediction markets will be running on Chainlink.
