According to a Chainalysis report, since January, the 2026 World Cup has generated $2 billion in on-chain prediction market volume and $24 million in digital collectibles trading since May 2025. During the five-week tournament period, nearly 400,000 wallets interacted with on-chain prediction markets, producing approximately $5.7 billion in trading volume, with World Cup-related markets accounting for 63% of total prediction market volume during the same period. Additionally, FIFA’s official digital collectibles platform, FIFA Collect, enabled approximately 100,000 fans to exchange digital assets for match tickets.
