On June 9, 2026, ADI Predictstreet, the official prediction market partner of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, announced it had selected Chainlink as its exclusive oracle provider. The integration will power real-time market resolutions and instant payouts for prediction markets tied to the tournament.
World Cup Scale: 48 Teams, 104 Matches, 16 Host Cities
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, featuring 48 teams competing in 104 matches across 16 host cities. ADI Predictstreet reported more than 150 million ticket requests from over 200 countries, underscoring the massive global demand that required scalable infrastructure for prediction markets.
Chainlink Runtime Environment Automates the Workflow
To meet this demand, ADI Predictstreet integrated the Chainlink Runtime Environment. The system leverages FIFA data sources to automate market creation, outcome resolution, and settlement. Chainlink's oracle network provides machine-readable data that triggers automatic payouts, eliminating manual verification delays.
Tackling Traditional Pain Points: Delays and Disputes
ADI Predictstreet noted that traditional prediction markets often suffer from settlement delays and outcome disputes. By adopting Chainlink as a single source of truth for market resolution, the platform aims to enhance transparency and reduce disputes. CEO Dimitrios Psarrakis stated, "Chainlink's experience in supporting large-scale markets made it the clear choice, enabling transparent outcome resolution, efficient settlement, and faster payouts."
Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, added, "This partnership will power real-time prediction markets with automated settlement, using high-quality data to determine outcomes and process payouts." According to the announcement, Chainlink has facilitated over $30 trillion in transaction value across blockchain ecosystems and supports more than 70% of the global decentralized finance market.
Chainlink now serves as ADI Predictstreet's exclusive oracle infrastructure provider for all prediction markets linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the technology deployed throughout tournament-related operations and settlements.
