The prediction market protocol Myriad has integrated World Liberty Financial’s (WLFI) USD1 as the platform’s first base stablecoin settlement asset. This integration brings USD1 to Myriad on BNB Chain, following Myriad’s recent product expansion on the network. The addition of USD1 is expected to support increased liquidity, deeper user participation, and continued growth across the prediction market ecosystem.
USD1 Integration and Market Launch
Myriad will launch USD1-denominated markets on January 14, 2026, beginning with its Candles product, which was previously announced as part of the protocol’s BNB Chain integration. Following this initial rollout, Myriad anticipates transitioning its BNB prediction markets to operate exclusively using USD1 as the base settlement asset during the first quarter of 2026. This transition aims to consolidate liquidity and standardize market infrastructure across the platform.
Industry Perspectives on the Integration
Zach Witkoff, Co-Founder of World Liberty Financial, commented on the integration: “Myriad’s integration of USD1 expands the real-world utility of stable, dollar-backed digital assets in emerging on-chain markets. Prediction markets are a growing category within decentralized finance, and this integration introduces USD1 into an environment where transparency, stability, and user trust are essential.”
Farokh Sarmad, co-founder and president of Myriad and Rug Radio, shared his perspective: “From the moment I interviewed President Trump in September 2024, I knew WLFI would be something the team, their partners, and the broader industry would take very seriously. This announcement is a full-circle moment as Myriad becomes the first prediction market using USD1 as a base settlement asset.”
Introduction of Candles Product and Future Expansion
Myriad is also introducing a new type of market structure designed for speed and simplicity. The debut of the Candles product with USD1 pools will feature automated markets with short timeframes, continuous liquidity, and automated resolution, enabling users to participate in fast-paced prediction or trading environments. Additional market formats and functionality are planned as part of a phased expansion in early 2026, with further technical details to be shared ahead of deployment. The Candles product with USD1 pools will be available exclusively to customers outside of the United States.
