CoinUp Prediction Market FAQ

To help users better understand and use CoinUp Prediction Market, we have compiled the following Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).


I. Product Overview

1. What is CoinUp Prediction Market?

CoinUp Prediction Market is an innovative trading platform that allows users to trade based on the outcomes of real-world events.

Users can participate using USDT by purchasing:

  • Yes
  • No

to express their prediction regarding the outcome of a specific event.

Prediction markets cover a wide range of categories, including:

  • Cryptocurrency
  • Sports
  • Politics
  • Technology
  • Culture
  • Economy

When a market is settled:

  • Winning positions will be settled according to the final market outcome;
  • Losing positions will become worthless.

Market prices fluctuate in real time and reflect the collective expectations of participants regarding the probability of an event occurring.


2. How is Prediction Market different from traditional trading?

Traditional spot and futures trading primarily focus on the price movement of assets.

Prediction Markets, on the other hand, focus on the outcomes of specific events, such as:

  • Will BTC exceed a certain price before a specified date?
  • Will a particular team win a championship?
  • Will a project successfully launch its mainnet?
  • Will a specific policy be approved?

Users do not need to predict the magnitude of price movements; they only need to determine whether an event will occur.


II. Account & Funds

3. How do I participate in Prediction Market?

To participate:

  1. Register a CoinUp account;
  2. Complete KYC verification;
  3. Transfer USDT to your Prediction Wallet;
  4. Select a market and purchase Yes or No shares;
  5. Wait for settlement or close your position before settlement.

4. Why is KYC verification required?

Due to regulatory requirements in certain jurisdictions, Prediction Market services may not be available in some countries or regions.

To ensure compliance, users must complete KYC verification before participating in Prediction Market trading.


5. Why am I unable to transfer funds?

Possible reasons include:

  • Open orders or active positions;
  • Frozen assets in your account;
  • Ongoing risk control review;
  • Incomplete KYC verification;
  • Transfer services temporarily suspended during system maintenance.

If the issue persists, please contact Online Support for assistance.


6. Why haven't my transferred funds arrived immediately?

The Prediction Wallet and Spot Account operate under separate asset management systems.

Transfer requests are typically processed within 10 minutes.

If your funds have not arrived after an extended period, please contact Online Support for assistance.


III. Trading Rules

7. What do Yes and No represent?

Yes

Indicates that you believe the event will occur.

No

Indicates that you believe the event will not occur.

For example:

Question:

Will BTC exceed 150,000 USDT before December 31, 2026?

  • Buy Yes = You believe it will exceed 150,000 USDT;
  • Buy No = You believe it will not exceed 150,000 USDT.

8. What does the market price represent?

The market price reflects the market's current expectation of the probability that an event will occur.

Prices fluctuate in real time based on trading activity between buyers and sellers.


9. Can I exit my position before settlement?

Yes.

You may sell your Yes or No shares at any time before market settlement.

The execution price will depend on the current market price and available market liquidity.


10. Why is my available balance insufficient?

The following assets may be temporarily unavailable:

  • Funds currently used in open positions;
  • Funds undergoing transfer or withdrawal processing;
  • Funds under risk control review;
  • Other frozen assets.

Frozen assets cannot be used for new trades.


11. Why am I unable to place trades?

Please ensure that:

  • Your Prediction Wallet has sufficient balance;
  • The market is open for trading;
  • The event has not entered the settlement stage;
  • KYC verification has been completed;
  • Your account is not subject to risk control restrictions.

IV. Market Settlement

12. How are markets settled?

CoinUp determines market outcomes based on a combination of:

  • Official data sources;
  • Authoritative third-party data providers;
  • Trusted oracle data;
  • Professional review and verification procedures.

Each market will clearly specify its settlement rules and data sources in advance.


13. When will a market be settled?

Markets are generally settled as soon as the event outcome is confirmed.

In some cases, settlement may require additional time while waiting for:

  • Official announcements;
  • Final data confirmation;
  • Manual review and verification.

The actual settlement time displayed on the market page shall prevail.


14. Why hasn't the market been settled even though the result is already known?

Possible reasons include:

  • Awaiting final official confirmation;
  • Disputed outcomes requiring further review;
  • Data sources have not yet been updated;
  • Ongoing risk control or verification procedures.

To ensure fairness, CoinUp will only settle markets after the outcome has been fully confirmed.


15. What happens if a market outcome cannot be determined?

Under special circumstances, such as:

  • Event cancellation;
  • Absence of official results;
  • Conflicting data sources;
  • Invalid or unverifiable events;

What is and How to Perform Futures Trading?

This article explains Futures Trading, a type of cryptocurrency futures trading on CoinUp.io. The guide includes instructions for both the CoinUp.io Mobile App and the CoinUp.io Website to help you get started.

 

What is Futures Trading?

Futures Trading is a type of financial trading where traders do not actually own the cryptocurrency itself. Instead, they speculate on the price movement of the cryptocurrency through contracts.

Key Features:

  1. Leverage: Allows you to open larger positions with a smaller margin.

  2. Two-way Trading: You can go long (profit from rising prices) or go short (profit from falling prices).

  3. Settlement: Profits and losses are calculated based on the difference between the entry and exit prices, not actual ownership of the asset.

  4. Risk and Reward: Leverage magnifies both potential profits and potential losses, which can lead to liquidation if the market moves against your position.

Understanding CoinUp.io Contract Fees: Taker vs. Maker Explained

When trading contracts on CoinUp.io, the fee you pay depends on whether you are a Taker (liquidity taker) or a Maker (liquidity provider). What does this mean?

  • When are you a Taker (paying a 0.06% fee)?
    • When you place an order that is immediately matched against an existing order on the market. This means you are "taking" liquidity from the market.
  • When are you a Maker (paying a 0.02% fee)?
    • When you place an order that does not fill immediately, but instead enters the order book, waiting for someone else to match it. This means you are "making" or adding liquidity to the market.

What if an order is only partially filled? It's simple: The part of the order that fills immediately is charged the Taker fee (0.06%). The remaining part that enters the order book and fills later is charged the Maker fee (0.02%) upon execution.

Key Points to Remember:

  • Fees are charged for both opening and closing a position.
  • Fees are calculated based on your transaction volume.
