What to know:

- The new offering is built in partnership with Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated prediction market operator valued at $11 billion, and uses event-based yes-or-no contracts whose prices reflect market-implied probabilities.

Coinbase (COIN) has rolled out its new prediction market platform to U.S. users, enabling them to trade on the outcomes of real-world events including elections, sports, collectibles, and economic indicators.
The platform, announced in December, is built in partnership with Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated prediction market operator recently valued at $11 billion. Kalshi offers event-based contracts that function like simplified derivatives—traders buy “yes” or “no” positions on specific outcomes, with the price of each contract reflecting the probability assigned by the market.

The launch, which the crypto exchange announced in a post on X on Wednesday, brings prediction markets to Coinbase’s U.S. user base for the first time, just in time for one of the biggest sports events of the year, the Super Bowl.
Prediction markets have gained renewed attention in the past year with many new entrants competing in the market. Trading volumes on platforms like Polymarket have surged as more users look to express political and economic views through on-chain financial products. These markets are often used to gauge real-time public sentiment and probabilities, with some investors treating them as alternative data sources.
Coinbase’s move into the space could give the sector a significant boost in visibility and liquidity, particularly as it offers access to users through an existing regulated platform. The crypto exchange has long said it wants to become an “everything exchange,” and the launch of prediction markets marks its latest move in that direction.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture
Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
