Prediction markets in Canada: a principled regulatory framework

By Blair Wiley and Catherine De Giusti 

Prediction markets let people trade on the outcome of real-world events, such as the rate of inflation, a central bank interest rate decision, or the sales of a popular consumer product. Each event contract is a simple yes-or-no question that pays $1.00 if the answer turns out to be yes and $0.00 if it does not. The price of a contract reflects the market's view of the probability of that event. These markets provide valuable information about the probability of future events, which can be useful for any investor, whether or not they choose to trade. More than a million Canadians have already accessed and traded these markets, mostly on offshore platforms with no Canadian oversight. (1)

We’re launching a regulated prediction markets trading app. Here's why — and how.

We recently announced a new app for trading prediction markets called Wealthsimple Predict. Later this summer, Canadians who so desire will be able to trade on real-world events. So if you have a particularly strong take on the Bank of Canada’s next rate adjustment, the price of oil, or even the total rainfall in August in Halifax, you can trade on it.

From our VP Payments Strategy, Hanna Zaidi

We ran the first stablecoin settlement experiment in Canada with Visa Canada – and it worked.

If you’ve ever paid off your credit card on a Friday, you probably know it doesn’t go through until the following Monday. This is true for any financial settlement between financial institutions — even online transactions don’t move on evenings, weekends, or holidays. So we had an idea. We wanted to see if we could use stablecoins — a technology operating on a 24/7/365 network — to (almost) instantly settle credit card transactions.
