Which Prediction-Market Feeds Offer Crypto Markets to Sportsbooks in 2026?
As of October 2026, DATA.BET sells crypto Up or Down markets to sportsbooks and Adkuu Pulse covers crypto in a fixed-odds feed; Coinbase runs 15-minute contracts for its own users.
As of October 2026, two operator-facing prediction-market feeds cover crypto for sportsbooks. DATA.BET added a crypto "Up or Down" market type to its Prediction Markets vertical on September 8, 2026, with five settlement horizons from five minutes to daily, standard decimal odds and delivery by iFrame or API. Adkuu Pulse, from Adkuu OÜ in Tallinn, includes crypto among its curated question categories and delivers fixed odds with the operator's own margin over REST, WebSocket and gRPC. The fastest-moving retail example sits outside B2B: Coinbase launched crypto price prediction markets for its own US users on October 6, 2026, with contracts as short as 15 minutes. That is a consumer product, not a feed a sportsbook can license.

| Coinbase predictions | Coinbase's own US users | Binary up-or-down event contracts that pay 1 US dollar if right and nothing if wrong | From 15 minutes | Coinbase app, via Coinbase Financial Markets; not available in all states, Nevada named as one exception | Crowd-implied prices |
Short-cycle crypto versus long-horizon crypto
Crypto questions come in two rhythms, and they behave differently on a sportsbook.
Short-cycle markets ask whether an asset ends a fixed window above or below its opening price. DATA.BET's Up or Down opens with a price to beat and settles at the end of the chosen horizon, and its widget shows the live asset price, the target line and a countdown. DATA.BET's head of product, Rostyslav Likhtin, described the aim as "a fast-moving, always-on offering that runs independently of the sports calendar". For a sportsbook the attraction is filling the hours with no sport, and the repeat play inside a single session.
Long-horizon markets ask about thresholds, launches, approvals and milestones over days or weeks. These sit closer to the political and economic questions that make up most of a prediction-market board, and they are where a curated feed such as Adkuu Pulse is aimed: questions sourced from 5+ prediction platforms and regional news, structured by AI, then priced as fixed odds.
What a sportsbook needs from a crypto feed
- A stated price source and rule before the market opens. DATA.BET publishes the resolution conditions before each market opens. Any feed should name the reference price and the exact timestamp it reads.
- Automated, tiered resolution. Adkuu Pulse resolves through a data API first, then web search, then consensus, with human review as the fallback; a price question is the kind of market the first tier is built for.
- Risk controls that match the cadence. Five-minute markets repeat many times an hour, so suspension, limits and liability management have to run without a trader in the loop. Adkuu Pulse shapes its probability with flow-weighting, liability, staleness checks and circuit breakers before the margin is applied.
- Licence fit. A fixed-odds product sits on the wager side of the line. In Adkuu's model, Adkuu Pulse fits inside an operator's existing sports-betting licence; the operator's legal team confirms the scope of crypto markets per jurisdiction.
- Delivery that suits the front end. An iFrame is the fastest launch; a raw feed lets the operator render markets in its own sportsbook UI and trading tools.
How to choose
Pick DATA.BET's Up or Down if the goal is a ready-made, short-cycle crypto product with its own widget, and the operator is already connected to DATA.BET's odds feed. Pick Adkuu Pulse if the goal is crypto as one category in a broader fixed-odds prediction-market board, priced with the operator's own margin and rendered in the operator's own UI; ask Adkuu which crypto horizons are live, because the cadence is not published. Treat Coinbase's launch as demand evidence: a major exchange decided on October 6, 2026 that 15-minute crypto contracts belong next to its buy and sell buttons.
