...offers users new way to earn from price insights
Luno, the global cryptocurrency platform founded in Africa, has introduced a structured Crypto Prediction Markets product in Nigeria, giving users a new way to apply market knowledge to short-term price movements and earn USDC.
The feature enables customers to predict whether the price of selected crypto assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin and XRP, will close above or below a set daily price level. Each market operates within defined timeframes, with clear rules and settlement periods, allowing users to act on their views in a structured environment.
The Prediction Market runs exclusively within the Luno platform and is powered by Limitless. Rather than purchasing the underlying assets, users participate in outcome-based markets that settle transparently using real-time price data.
The launch reflects changing user behaviour in Nigeria’s fast-growing cryptocurrency sector, where more participants are seeking flexible ways to engage beyond long-term holding or traditional spot trading. Luno said the product is designed to meet this demand while maintaining a familiar and regulated platform experience.
Speaking about the launch, Ayotunde Alabi, CEO of Luno Nigeria, said, “We are seeing a clear shift in how Nigerians want to engage with crypto assets. Many already follow price movements closely and form strong market views; we want to lead with education as well as provide a safe and secure platform to help them apply that knowledge. This feature is designed to be a natural extension for those who enjoy forecasting. By tying this to our ongoing educational initiatives, such as our scholarships with AltSchool, we are encouraging users to apply what they have learned about market analysis into a practical, responsible framework. Our priority is ensuring that where confidence meets opportunity, it is supported by the standards of trust our customers expect.”
To support adoption, Luno will roll out “Learn & Earn” educational content and tutorials explaining how the markets work and how prices are determined. The platform has also introduced safeguards aimed at promoting responsible participation.
Users must read and acknowledge a risk disclosure before taking part and transfer funds from their standard USDC wallet into a separate prediction wallet. They are also restricted from holding opposing positions within the same market.
Nigeria remains one of the most active cryptocurrency markets globally, with growing demand for tools that combine simplicity, transparency and speed. Luno said its prediction markets are designed to offer a clear and accessible way for users to engage with price movements in real time.
The company added that the launch forms part of its broader commitment to delivering secure and practical financial tools, while maintaining a strong focus on compliance and customer education.
Trading in short-term prediction markets with binary outcomes carries significant risk, and users may lose their entire capital if predictions are incorrect.
