Binance seeks US approval for prediction market business

Binance's interest in prediction markets signals that event-based trading is being treated as a serious product line by major exchanges, not just a niche experiment. The venue matters more than the product: a US-regulated prediction market from Binance would sit in the same space as established event-contract platforms, and the approval itself is the story. Notably, the company disclosed neither a timeline nor which regulator would oversee it, which leaves the scope of the request unclear. Whether Binance names a specific regulator and files formally is the open question.
