World Cup to Drive $5B-$10B Prediction Market Surge, Boosting Coinbase Revenue: Bernstein
COIN is trading near its 52-week low of $139.36 (14% above the low).
Summary
Bernstein analysts project the 2026 FIFA World Cup will drive a significant surge in prediction market volumes, estimating $5B-$10B in additional consumer volume. Coinbase is identified as a major beneficiary, with its prediction market product already exceeding $100M in annualized revenue in March. This potential revenue boost is particularly relevant given Coinbase's reported net loss and revenue decline in Q1 2026. The CFTC's recent favorable draft rules for sports event contracts also support this growth. Traders will watch for actual volume data as the World Cup begins today.
