Today's World Cup numbers, straight from the platform:
> Canada vs Bosnia + USA vs Paraguay
> 206 predictions
> 22.6M CUP in volume - around $16K - in one day
> platform surplus: +10.7M CUP, about $7.5K
Winners paid in full, refunds credited, and the model still nets positive. That's a sustainable prediction market, not subsidized hype
Two group games did this. 100+ matches to go

Sometimes, a football is much more than just a ball. For these children - many of whom have grown up without the love, care, and support every child deserves - this day was more than a simple outing. It was a reminder that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.
When a child holds a football like it’s the greatest trophy in the world, it makes you realize how different our lives can be. What may seem like a small gesture to some can become a lifelong memory for someone else.
On this day, these children received more than gifts, flags, and snacks. They received attention, kindness, and the feeling that someone truly cares about them. And sometimes, that means more than anything money can buy.
Thank you to everyone who helped make these smiles possible. May there be more stories like this, because football is not only about winning matches - it’s about bringing hearts together and giving hope where it’s needed most❤️⚽🙏
P.S. Football is beyond politics.
Football has no color and no race⚽❤️

A huge thank you for this warm and heartfelt initiative! ❤️
We especially want to thank our community for this wonderful idea - spending the day with the children, giving them joy, footballs, flags, and simply the chance to be kids.
Cup Markets is not just a convenient platform for prediction markets and football betting.
The main value of our project lies in our big and kind heart, and in understanding how important it is to support people where help is truly needed.
We’re truly happy to be part of such moments when football really unites people and brings happiness.
Thank you for making this world a little bit better together ⚽️
Football belongs to everyone!

Something good happened this week, and Cup Markets was proud to be part of it
One of our community members had an idea: to spend a day with children at a school near him in Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia - a place for kids, many without parents, many who need a little more care than most
With Cup Markets backing it, he brought them footballs, flags, snacks and gifts - and gave them an afternoon of simply being kids. They played, they smiled, they held those footballs like trophies
This is the side of football we care about most. The credit for the idea is all his. The joy is all theirs. We were just glad to help make the day happen
Football belongs to everyone

What makes this act significant? It gives the traditional finance (TradFi) market the green light to tokenize assets on the blockchain. In essence, this is the very definition of “mass adoption” - bringing real-world financial assets and institutions onto blockchain infrastructure.
@splinter0n I prefer the solana:BGAED7f6EcBbWPamiWxcpgXqpkGm7zpYoxmx29Jh9cUp concept; having your own betting platform with up to 50% refunds sounds much more appealing!
Funny how the same two letters can mean completely different things.
For $CUP, WC stands for World Cup:
🏆 Victory
📈 Growth
💎 Opportunity
💰 Wealth
For many other WC projects...
WC still means Water Closet. 🚽
One narrative is backed by the biggest sporting event on Earth.
The other is where liquidity goes to disappear.
Choose your WC wisely. ⚽🏆
