Binance.US to File CFTC License Application for Prediction Markets — Exchange Aims to Challenge Kalshi and Polymarket

Thursday July 30, 2026 (9:27 am EDT)

Binance.US CEO Stephen Gregory announced the company’s intention to launch its own prediction market at the Rare Evo conference. A DCM license would allow Binance.US to offer clients event contracts–binary yes/no futures. According to Gregory, the application will be filed in August 2026. It’s part of a broader strategy to revive the exchange, including fee reductions, market share growth, and market maker recruitment.

SCOOP: @BinanceUS plans to apply to the @CFTC for a Designated Contract Market (DCM) next month with the goal of offering prediction markets to customers, CEO @Stevie_Satoshi just told me on stage at @RareEvo Conference.

The move is part of the exchange’s broader comeback…

Soccer (Argentina)

Argentina Primera Division Matches Friday

Wednesday July 29, 2026 (11:05 pm EDT)

Independiente vs. Newell's — 8:15 pm EDT - Independiente is one of Argentina's traditional "Big Five," and Newell's is another nationally recognizable club with a substantial following. The combination of two well-known teams and the 9:15 p.m. Argentina prime-time slot makes this the Thursday match that should witness a substantial betting handle.

Talleres vs. Vélez Sarsfield — 6 pm EDT - This is probably the most attractive matchup competitively. Talleres has a major Córdoba following, while Vélez is a recognizable Buenos Aires club. I'd expect solid action on the three-way moneyline and goals markets.

Independiente Rivadavia vs. Huracán — 6 pm EDT - Huracán is the bigger national draw, but Rivadavia's performance makes the matchup interesting from a wagering standpoint. Current betting previews are actively pricing the game, including Huracán +0.5 around -147 in one market snapshot.

Central Córdoba vs. Atlético Tucumán — 8:15 pm EDT

Soccer (Brazil)

Coritiba vs Cruzeiro Brazil Serie A

Wednesday July 29, 2026 (11 pm EDT)

In terms of likely betting handle, this is a good match despite being the only Série A game Friday. Cruzeiro are one of Brazil's biggest-supported clubs, so they should drive substantial national wagering interest. Coritiba being at home also makes the match more competitive from a betting standpoint rather than presenting bettors with an overwhelming favorite. Current market listings have Coritiba as the underdog, with prices around 3.4 decimal (+240-ish).
