Coinbase Buys The Clearing Company to Power Its “Everything Exchange” Ambitions

  • Coinbase will acquire prediction market startup The Clearing Company in January to expand its trading options for real-world events.
  • The acquisition includes nearly all of the startup’s staff and its founder who previously held leadership roles at competitors Polymarket and Kalshi.
  • This move supports Coinbase’s strategy to become an everything exchange by integrating regulated on-chain prediction products alongside standard crypto trading.

Leading crypto exchange Coinbase said it will acquire The Clearing Company, a small startup focused on prediction markets, as it expands into trading tied to real-world events. 

The deal should close in January, subject to standard conditions.

Moreover, Coinbase said The Clearing Company’s team will help expand Coinbase’s prediction markets product. The startup had about 10 employees, and Coinbase said nearly all of them will join the company.

Coinbase did not disclose the price, calling it “immaterial,” and said the deal will be paid with a mix of cash and Coinbase stock. The Clearing Company’s founder said joining Coinbase will help bring prediction markets to more users.

More Competition On The Prediction Market

Prediction markets let users trade on outcomes like election results, economic data releases, or sports results. They’re now one of the biggest sources for crowd/market sentiment around several distinct events and situations, so much so that CNN recently partnered with Kalshi, Polymarket’s biggest competitor, to bring real-time probabilities into its reporting.

Both Kalshi and Polymarket are looking at valuations north of US$10 billion (AU$15 billion), though Kalshi was recently hit with a class action lawsuit due to illegal sports betting and rigged market-making, as Crypto News Australia reported.

Coinbase started rolling out these markets on its platform last week, adding them alongside its crypto and other trading products as part of its “everything exchange” plan.

The Clearing Company was founded earlier this year by Toni Gemayel, a former growth lead at Polymarket and Kalshi. The startup raised US$15 million (AU$22 million) in August and aimed to build a regulated, on-chain prediction markets platform.

Coinbase said its prediction markets launched through a regulated venue and used Kalshi as its initial source of liquidity, meaning Coinbase relied on Kalshi’s market activity to help match trades. The firm said it plans to add more platforms and market types over time.

How To Earn Crypto Cashback With Cold Wallet’s Every Transaction

How To Earn Crypto Cashback With Cold Wallet’s Every Transaction

The post How To Earn Crypto Cashback With Cold Wallet’s Every Transaction appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto has long promised opportunity, but for most users, participation feels more like a penalty than a reward. Every swap, bridge, or simple transaction comes with fees that chip away at your balance. For newcomers, this becomes a barrier to entry, and for long-time users, it creates fatigue. Cold Wallet changes that equation by giving something back every time you act on-chain. Instead of paying fees into a void, you get rewarded with $CWT tokens that build your balance over time.  With over $7.11 million already raised in its presale, currently at stage 18 and priced at $0.01058 per token, Cold Wallet is proving that a fairer system isn’t just possible, it’s already here. At launch, $CWT is projected to list at $0.3517, adding even more incentive for early adopters to get involved now.  Cashback Built Into Every Action Cold Wallet introduces a simple but powerful concept: use the blockchain as usual, and you get cashback for it. Whether you’re paying gas fees, swapping between tokens, or bridging funds across networks, the wallet automatically rewards you with $CWT. There’s no staking contract to manage, no forms to fill out, and no hidden lock-ups to trap your funds. The system works in real time, making the experience seamless and effortless.  Cashback rates are tied to your tier, and with higher holdings of $CWT, you can reclaim even more of your transaction costs, up to 100% of gas fees at the top tier. For everyday users, this means turning unavoidable expenses into an income stream. For power users, it transforms frequent activity into a compounding advantage, giving them a reason to engage more often without the usual frustration of draining fees. The Role of $CWT in the Ecosystem At the heart of Cold Wallet’s cashback model is the $CWT token. Far from…

Scott Bessent says yuan drop against euro is Europe’s problem, not America’s

Scott Bessent says yuan drop against euro is Europe’s problem, not America’s

The post Scott Bessent says yuan drop against euro is Europe’s problem, not America’s appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in Madrid on Thursday that the slump in China’s currency isn’t a problem for the United States, it’s Europe that should be worried. Speaking during a joint interview with Reuters and Bloomberg, Scott made the comments after meetings with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng as part of the U.S.-China trade discussions, which also included talks on TikTok. He made it clear that the yuan, also known as the renminbi, has actually strengthened against the U.S. dollar this year, but collapsed to a record low against the euro. “The RMB is actually stronger this year versus the dollar. Now it’s at an all-time low versus the euro, which is a problem for the Europeans,” Scott, rejecting the idea that Beijing was trying to devalue its currency to gain an unfair edge against Washington. He said Chinese officials haven’t tried anything of the sort with the U.S. and explained the reality behind the currency’s movement: “It’s a closed currency. So they manage the level.” Yuan collapse helps Chinese exports flood europe Since January, the yuan has plunged from 7.5 per euro to over 8.4, triggering concerns across Europe. Meanwhile, against the dollar, it’s gained slightly from 7.3 to 7.1. This divergence has created a lopsided trade dynamic, because while the U.S. has seen its imports from China drop 14% due to aggressive tariffs, Europe has recorded a 6.9% increase in trade with China. So, Scott said the U.S. tariffs are doing what they were meant to do, cutting down the trade deficit. But the redirected flow of Chinese goods is now landing in European markets instead, where the yuan’s weakness is making Chinese exports even cheaper in euro terms. The weakening of the yuan is hitting Europe at a sensitive time, as the European Central Bank…
