Meta Internally Tests Prediction Market App Called Takes Using Virtual Points Instead of Real Money
Read this in the Market Flux appMeta is testing a prediction market app called Takes with its own employees, the Wall Street Journal reported on November 13. The app lets users wager on the outcomes of real-world questions using a virtual currency called "cred" rather than real money, with correct predictions earning points and incorrect ones costing them.
One sample question on the app asks whether former Apple CEO Tim Cook will become Nvidia's next CEO, illustrating the range of real-world events the platform targets. The app is not publicly available, and Meta has not confirmed if or when it will launch more broadly.
The move puts Meta alongside a growing field of prediction market platforms and could inform how the company approaches user engagement and data monetization, potentially using AI to expand forecasting accessibility according to analysts tracking the space.
