First Bitcoin Prediction Market Launches With Arch

First Bitcoin Prediction Market Launches With Arch

Predictr.market, an innovative prediction market platform, is partnering with Arch to bring decentralized event forecasting directly to the Bitcoin base layer.

To date, crypto-backed prediction markets have been limited to Layer 2s or alternative blockchains that represent a fraction of the unmatched $2T in Bitcoin liquidity.

Bitcoin prediction markets faced significant technical barriers in the past, in addition to having to rely on wrapped or bridged Bitcoin (rather than native UTXO-based assets like BTC, Runes or BRC-20s).

Previously on Bitcoin, there was no way to …

  • Programmatically settle markets without centralized intermediaries
  • Handle high-frequency trading due to slow block times
  • Create automated market makers for liquid trading

Predictr.market is able to leverage Arch's bridgeless execution platform to solve these obstacles while creating the first truly decentralized prediction market on Bitcoin.

"Bitcoin has always had the deepest liquidity in crypto, but until now, there was no way to tap into it programmatically for prediction markets," says Nishu Kumar, Founder of Predictr.market. "Arch's architecture changes everything, allowing us to bring programmatic trading and settlement directly to Bitcoin's base layer."

Key innovations include:

  • AI-powered oracle system that provides transparent, automated market resolution without relying on manual voting
  • Access to Bitcoin's $1.2T liquidity pool for deeper markets and better price discovery
  • High-frequency trading capabilities enabled by Arch's fast execution times
  • Ability for users to create custom prediction markets around any verifiable future event
  • Premium features including AI-powered "Text to Predict" trading bots for automated position management

This breakthrough represents a significant evolution from existing prediction markets, which are either centralized or restricted to smaller liquidity pools on other chains.

"Prediction markets are most powerful when they can tap into deep liquidity and diverse participation," says Kumar, a key figure in the Bitcoin ecosystem as the head of Ordinals India. "By combining Predictr.market's innovative AI oracle system with Arch's bridgeless execution, we're creating an entirely new category of Bitcoin-native financial products."

With time, the platform will also create bridges to Solana and Base, helping expand Bitcoin's prediction market ecosystem by attracting experienced traders from other chains as well.
