Meta Develops Prediction-Market App Arena to Rival Kalshi, Polymarket

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from TechRepublic ·

Meta is building Arena, a standalone prediction-markets app that will initially use points before adding real-money betting. The app would compete with platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, tapping into the growing market for event-based wagering. Meta has not announced a launch date or regulatory strategy for the app.
