BREAKING: Meta is building its own prediction markets app to compete with Polymarket and Kalshi.
The app is internally called "Arena."
It would run separately from Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger.
Users would bet with points instead of real money, but Meta has not ruled out adding real money betting later.
Meta has run this playbook before.
In 2021, Mark Zuckerberg renamed the company from Facebook to Meta at the peak of metaverse hype.
Since then, its Reality Labs division has lost $83.5 billion building that vision, with Quest headset shipments still falling year over year.
