CZ Returns to the Spotlight: YZiLabs Launches Prediction Market on BNB Chain

2025-12-04 06:07:24

CZ took center stage at a Dubai blockchain event to unveil a new YZiLabs-backed prediction market protocol live on BNB Chain, while simultaneously announcing that Trust Wallet (now with 220+ million users) has rolled out native prediction market trading through direct integrations with Polymarket, Kalshi, and Myriad.

The dual reveal instantly positions BNB Chain and its ecosystem as the most accessible on-ramp for mainstream prediction market participation worldwide.

Key Highlights of the Announcement

Trust Wallet Becomes the First Major Self-Custody Wallet with Built-In Prediction Markets Users can now place bets on U.S. elections, Fed rate decisions, sports outcomes, Bitcoin price levels, and thousands of other events directly inside the Trust Wallet app (iOS/Android) without leaving the interface or connecting external dApps. All trades settle in USDC or USDT with one-tap execution.
Three Integrated Platforms at Launch
- Polymarket (largest decentralized prediction market by volume)
- Kalshi (the leading U.S. CFTC-regulated event contracts platform)
- Myriad (new decentralized perpetual prediction protocol)
BNB Chain’s Growing Prediction Market Infrastructure The chain already integrated Polymarket in October 2025 and saw the mainnet launch of Opinion Labs (a high-throughput prediction layer) backed by multi-million-dollar grants. CZ revealed YZiLabs is now deploying additional liquidity incentives and developer tooling to make BNB Chain the default settlement layer for retail-facing prediction apps.

Why This Changes Everything

Massive Distribution Advantage Trust Wallet’s 220 million registered users dwarf the current active user bases of Polymarket (~2.5 M), Kalshi (~800 k), and all other platforms combined. A single in-app banner can now drive more volume in a day than most prediction markets see in a month.
Self-Custody + Regulated + Decentralized Options in One Place Users can choose fully on-chain (Polymarket), CFTC-regulated (Kalshi), or hybrid models (Myriad) while keeping private keys in their own wallet.
Perfect Timing The launch coincides with peak global interest in 2026 midterm primaries, Super Bowl odds, central bank decisions, and Bitcoin price milestones, giving everyday users instant access without needing separate accounts or KYC hurdles (where permitted).

Early Market Reaction

Within hours of the announcement:

BNB Chain prediction-related transaction count spiked 380%
Trust Wallet daily active users jumped 18%
Polymarket and Kalshi both reported their highest-ever single-day mobile origination volume

With CZ personally championing the rollout and YZiLabs committing eight-figure liquidity support, the prediction market category just went from niche DeFi experiment to mass-retail reality virtually overnight.

For the first time, hundreds of millions of crypto-native users can bet on real-world outcomes as easily as sending a payment, all from the same app they already trust with their assets. The age of mainstream prediction markets has officially arrived.
