Wu Blockchain reports that according to a Chainalysis report, from early 2026 to the end of the World Cup, the on-chain prediction market related to the event reached a transaction volume of $20 billion, with approximately $5.7 billion during the event itself and nearly 400,000 participating wallets. After the tournament began, the daily transaction volume in related markets rose from around $50 million to about $250 million, exceeding $300 million on the day of the final. During the event, this accounted for about 63% of the total prediction market transaction volume. Chainalysis found that approximately 3,700 participating wallets had interacted with illicit sources, accounting for less than 1%, with at least $5.4 million directly coming from sanctioned sources. FIFA's official digital collectibles platform, FIFA Collect, processed around $24 million in transactions via the Avalanche chain and helped over 100,000 fans secure tickets. Chainalysis believes that strict Know Your Customer (KYC) measures and source-of-funds checks have kept direct links to illicit funds extremely low. https://(wublock123.com)/news/chainalysis-2026-world-cup-prediction-market-20b-volume-65691
