What to know:

Coinbase (COIN) has rolled out its new prediction market platform to U.S. users, enabling them to trade on the outcomes of real-world events including elections, sports, collectibles, and economic indicators.
The platform, announced in December, is built in partnership with Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated prediction market operator recently valued at $11 billion. Kalshi offers event-based contracts that function like simplified derivatives—traders buy “yes” or “no” positions on specific outcomes, with the price of each contract reflecting the probability assigned by the market.

The launch, which the crypto exchange announced in a post on X on Wednesday, brings prediction markets to Coinbase’s U.S. user base for the first time, just in time for one of the biggest sports events of the year, the Super Bowl.
Prediction markets have gained renewed attention in the past year with many new entrants competing in the market. Trading volumes on platforms like Polymarket have surged as more users look to express political and economic views through on-chain financial products. These markets are often used to gauge real-time public sentiment and probabilities, with some investors treating them as alternative data sources.
Coinbase’s move into the space could give the sector a significant boost in visibility and liquidity, particularly as it offers access to users through an existing regulated platform. The crypto exchange has long said it wants to become an “everything exchange,” and the launch of prediction markets marks its latest move in that direction.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture
Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale
The post Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:13 The meme coin market is heating up once again as traders look for the next breakout token. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to build its ecosystem and PEPE holds onto its viral roots, a new contender, Layer Brett (LBRETT), is gaining attention after raising more than $3.7 million in its presale. With a live staking system, fast-growing community, and real tech backing, some analysts are already calling it “the next PEPE.” Here’s the latest on the Shiba Inu price forecast, what’s going on with PEPE, and why Layer Brett is drawing in new investors fast. Shiba Inu price forecast: Ecosystem builds, but retail looks elsewhere Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to develop its broader ecosystem with Shibarium, the project’s Layer 2 network built to improve speed and lower gas fees. While the community remains strong, the price hasn’t followed suit lately. SHIB is currently trading around $0.00001298, and while that’s a decent jump from its earlier lows, it still falls short of triggering any major excitement across the market. The project includes additional tokens like BONE and LEASH, and also has ongoing initiatives in DeFi and NFTs. However, even with all this development, many investors feel the hype that once surrounded SHIB has shifted elsewhere, particularly toward newer, more dynamic meme coins offering better entry points and incentives. PEPE: Can it rebound or is the momentum gone? PEPE saw a parabolic rise during the last meme coin surge, catching fire on social media and delivering massive short-term gains for early adopters. However, like most meme tokens driven largely by hype, it has since cooled off. PEPE is currently trading around $0.00001076, down significantly from its peak. While the token still enjoys a loyal community, analysts believe its best days may be behind it unless…
