At the moment when the prediction market crosses the gap and enters the mainstream, FIFA announced the designation of ADI PredictStreet (ADI Chain ecosystem application) as its first global partner in the prediction market category.
This means that 6.5 million ticketed fans at this year's World Cup, as well as billions of fans worldwide, will be exposed to ADI PredictStreet's prediction market through FIFA's digital platform and interactive activities on the field.
Why did ADI Chain and ADI PredictStreet secure an official partnership with FIFA?
As a blockchain infrastructure designed specifically for institutional level compliance applications, ADI Chain is supported by Sirius International, a subsidiary of IHC (with a market value of $240 billion), and operates under the regulatory framework of ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Markets). At the beginning of this year, the stablecoin DDSC supported by the UAE dirham (regulated by the UAE Central Bank and jointly issued by First Abu Dhabi Bank and IHC) was officially launched on ADI Chain.
Here we need to talk more about IHC: IHC, also known as International Holding Company, is a global diversified holding company headquartered in Abu Dhabi. It is one of the most important investment giants in the United Arab Emirates (especially Abu Dhabi) and the largest listed company on the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange (ADX) by market value.
As the first consumer level application in the ADI Chain public chain ecosystem, every predicted market transaction on ADI PredictStreet is settled on ADI Chain. As a utility token, ADI naturally consumes ADI Token for every predicted settlement. And this collaboration will be the first appearance of ADI Chain and ADI PredictStreet on the largest stage of the global sports world - the World Cup.
It seems that this cooperation is no longer a marketing gimmick, but a true infrastructure level deep cooperation: seamless integration of payment, settlement, and prediction markets throughout the entire chain. FIFA's choice itself is the strongest endorsement. As the world's most rigorous and compliance oriented sports organization, its global partners require many rounds of communication and strict scrutiny of various material qualifications. The selection of ADI PredictStreet and ADI Chain this time indirectly indicates that ADI Chain has passed top-level institutional level compliance review, is secure, auditable, and regulated, and is capable of carrying billions of real-world applications.
This is also a milestone event for the entire blockchain industry, as the most mainstream and authoritative institutions in the global sports world are adopting it on a large scale.
For the prediction market, it will also be a great promotion and improvement. FIFA's strong entry, compliance, massive real users, and endorsement of top sports IPs will combine to directly push the prediction market to billions of mainstream sports enthusiasts worldwide. 26 years is definitely the year when the market is predicted to rapidly explode and move towards mainstream popularity.
For ADI Chain, all 104 World Cup matches and thousands of prediction markets will be settled on ADI Chain, and each settlement will result in the consumption of real ADI Tokens, which will bring huge demand and usage to ADI. Becoming an on chain settlement infrastructure for real-world scenarios means massive transactions and gas consumption. Of course, it is not just short-term traffic, but can greatly enhance network activity, developer ecosystem, and practical value.
As ordinary fans, our 26 year World Cup viewing experience may have become very different:
While watching the game on TV or in person, you can play ADI PredictStreet and participate in real-time guessing on the blockchain. Predict scores, wins and losses, goals scored... By guessing correctly, you can earn rewards, truly achieving an immersive experience of "watching the game+making money+participating".
