DATA.BET has announced significant enhancements to its Prediction Markets, the independent betting platform that was introduced in April 2026. This update features a new crypto-focused Up or Down market type, alongside live and historical data Widgets spanning the Crypto and Finance sectors, as well as API integration alongside the previously introduced iFrame deployment.
The Up or Down market, geared specifically for the cryptocurrency realm, provides a starting price that players can bet on, indicating whether the price will rise or fall at standard decimal odds. The market offers five different settlement horizons: 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily. With such short-cycle markets, transactions can conclude in minutes rather than dragging on for months, allowing for a brisk and repetitive betting pace compared to lengthy political and economic events. As a result, players enjoy increased betting opportunities during a single session, independent of any sports calendar.
A specialized widget feature will show live asset prices, with the target line marked on a chart and a countdown timer leading to settlement. In the Crypto and Finance markets, users will have access to both live and historical price data covering a range of assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), as well as commodities like Gold and Oil. Additionally, probability history widgets will now be available across all categories, reflecting data for 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and all timeframes. This will help players make informed decisions by providing comprehensive context before they place a wager, complete with volume figures and published resolution conditions prior to market opening.
On the integration front, Prediction Markets can now be accessed through an API, enhancing accessibility beyond the previously offered iFrame. Operators partnered with DATA.BET can activate this new feature using their existing odds feed credentials and Sports events API without needing a separate integration process.
This update also introduces extensive system optimization, content management enhancements, and ongoing improvements to the liquidity module, all aimed at fostering greater stability in the markets and accelerating turnaround times as the vertical expands.
Rostyslav Likhtin, Head of Product at DATA.BET, stated, "Prediction Markets was built to give operators a fast-moving, always-on offering that runs independently of the sports calendar. We’re making it faster to trade, easier to read, and easier to deploy, and this is only the first step in how far we’re taking this."
