The follow\u2011on round brings in Susquehanna Crypto, the digital asset trading arm of global quantitative trading firm Susquehanna International Group, signaling growing institutional interest in on\u2011chain prediction markets.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The Predict.fun team graduated from YZi Labs\u2019 EASY Residency Season 2 cohort, unveiled during Binance Blockchain Week, where the incubator highlighted the protocol\u2019s blend of DeFi yield, self\u2011custody and gasless UX as the basis for \u201cmainstream prediction markets.\u201d YZi Labs described Predict.fun as enabling a new class of event trading by routing user collateral into DeFi strategies while positions are open, turning predictions into a yield\u2011generating primitive rather than idle bets.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Br5yfbpflL\">https:\/\/t.co\/Br5yfbpflL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 YZi Labs (@yzilabs) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yzilabs\/status\/2039689318634324260?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">April 2, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"predictfun-growth-since-residency\">Predict.fun growth since residency<\/h1>\n<p>Since its launch in December 2025, Predict.fun has processed more than 4 million orders and surpassed $1.8 billion in cumulative trading volume, according to figures shared by YZi Labs and third\u2011party coverage. Trust Wallet, which recently integrated Predict.fun, said the protocol has handled over $1.7 billion in volume across roughly 125,000 users and 3.7 million transactions, underscoring the pace of adoption on BNB Chain.<\/p>\n<p>Built as a self\u2011custodial app on BNB Chain, Predict.fun lets users trade on outcomes across crypto prices, sports, politics and macro events using USDT, while their collateral earns DeFi yield in the background. The platform resolves markets using a combination of AI\u2011assisted proposals, human verification against reputable data sources and UMA\u2019s Optimistic Oracle, a design YZi Labs says balances automation with accountability for high\u2011stakes outcomes.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strategic-bet-on-onchain-prediction-markets\">Strategic bet on on\u2011chain prediction markets<\/h1>\n<p>Susquehanna Crypto\u2019s participation aligns Predict.fun with one of the world\u2019s largest options and ETF market makers, adding credibility as prediction protocols vie to become institutional\u2011grade trading venues. Data from YZi Labs shows that the EASY Residency network now backs multiple prediction and trading projects, with Predict.fun singled out as BNB Chain\u2019s \u201cdominant prediction market\u201d and a core beneficiary of the firm\u2019s $1 billion Builder Fund for the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>For YZi Labs, doubling down on Predict.fun fits a strategy of investing at the intersection of Web3 and AI, with on\u2011chain markets framed as both retail\u2011facing products and data feeds for more advanced models. If the protocol can sustain multi\u2011billion\u2011dollar volumes while keeping slippage low and resolutions trusted, the latest round positions it to compete with centralized prediction venues and emerging rivals across other L1s and L2s.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary YZi Labs has made a strategic follow-up investment in prediction market protocol Predict.fun after its EASY Residency accelerator.
