Shift Markets

Our CEO, @ianmcafee, will be speaking at @consensus2026 as part of the panel Institutional DeFi Surge: Infra Powering Wall Street Adoption. As institutional interest in crypto keeps building, infrastructure is becoming a much bigger part of the conversation. That is exactly where this panel will focus. Ian will be joining @konstantin11 and Zano Sherwani to discuss the infrastructure shaping institutional adoption and what platforms need to support the next phase of growth. If you’ll be at Consensus, come join the session and connect with the Shift Markets team in Miami. 📍 Consensus Miami - Convergence Stage 📅 May 6th 🕐 1:20 pm We look forward to seeing you there!

Shift Markets will be at @CoinDesk's @consensus2026 in Miami. We’ll be meeting with exchanges, brokers, fintechs, and infrastructure teams building the next phase of digital asset infrastructure.

Shift Markets’ Prediction Market Software is here. Prediction markets have become a serious growth and revenue category. $21 billion in monthly volume. 800,000+ unique wallets participating each month. Billions of contracts have already been traded across the category. With Shift, you don't need to build infrastructure from scratch while the market moves ahead. ✅ Launch faster ✅ Plug into your existing product stack ✅ Move while demand, engagement, and revenue are still building Prediction markets are shaping the trading industry fast, and we have the infrastructure to help you act on it. shiftmarkets.com/prediction-mar…

Robinhood and Coinbase have rolled out their own prediction markets. This is a clear signal that the revenue opportunity in this category is getting harder to ignore. Robinhood reported 12 Billion+ event contracts traded in 2025, while Coinbase says prediction markets could consolidate billions of dollars in weekly volume. When platforms of that size commit to a category like this, operators should pay attention. Prediction markets are rapidly growing, and platforms that move now will shape where this category goes next.

Prediction markets are opening up new ways for trading platforms to create participation around events people already follow. For exchanges, brokers, and fintechs, the opportunity is in how these markets fit into the broader product mix and create a distinct kind of engagement. That could mean: • Macro and political markets tied to rates, inflation, and elections • Crypto-native markets around ETFs, protocol upgrades, and price milestones • A simpler event-driven format alongside existing products We broke down where prediction markets fit and which use cases make the most sense for different platform types: shiftmarkets.com/blog/predictio…

Prediction markets have already reached $162.65B in notional volume across the top platforms. They’re growing because they’re easier to understand, tied to real-world events, and priced as live probability signals. For exchanges, brokers, and fintechs, that means a product category that can drive new participation and stand apart from the usual spot/derivatives stack. We broke it down here: shiftmarkets.com/blog/predictio…

A latency delay of just 10 milliseconds can reduce trading revenue by 10%. Infrastructure decisions matter more than anything else.

Prediction markets recently hit a monthly trading volume of over $24 billion. That matters because this is not just another trading product. It opens up a different kind of market, one built around outcomes instead of assets. When people trade on what they believe will happen next, engagement looks different. Volume comes from different behaviors. The use cases expand fast. It's still early, but the pace of growth is hard to ignore. We broke down how prediction market platforms work, why they are gaining traction, and why more exchanges and brokers are starting to pay attention: shiftmarkets.com/blog/what-is-a…

Spot and derivatives alone are no longer enough to differentiate yourself in the crypto space. Expanded product offerings. Maintained compliance requirements. Additional revenue streams. This is what it takes to drive growth. Read the full breakdown here: shiftmarkets.com/blog/is-your-e…

Google has begun requiring verified, jurisdiction-specific regulatory documentation for crypto exchanges and wallet applications distributed through Google Play. For operators, this means: • Licensing must align with where your app is distributed • Documentation may be requested directly in the Play Console • Apps without proper authorization may face blocked updates or regional restrictions In our latest blog post, VP of Legal Andrew Barron breaks down what has changed, which jurisdictions are currently impacted, and the specific actions needed within the Google Play Console. If you distribute a crypto-enabled Android app, this is worth reviewing. 🔗 Read the full update here: shiftmarkets.com/blog/google-pl…
