[Backpack Launches Unified Prediction Portfolio, Initiates Private Testing for Prediction Market] Odaily Planet Daily News: Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante announced on the X platform that Backpack has officially launched its product for entering the prediction market field—the Unified Prediction Portfolio—and has initiated private testing limited to invited users. The product adopts cross-margin and cross-collateral mechanisms, integrating spot trading, spot margin trading, lending, perpetual contracts, prediction markets, and crypto and fiat assets into a single sub-account. This addresses the issues of long-term capital lock-up and high opportunity costs in prediction markets. Ferrante stated that this is not a simple repackaging of existing prediction market platforms but a completely new system natively built by Backpack, supporting prediction trading, hedging, and various advanced order operations within the same margin account. The current testing phase will focus on validating the risk engine and basic functionalities, with plans to gradually expand features, market scale, and user base in the future.
