Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, April 23rd, 2026 - At the Prediction Conference held in Las Vegas, SafeBets.world Inc. publicly introduced a prediction platform that its founders describe as novel in both economic design and user incentives. The company presented a model in which accurate forecasting is monetarily rewarded through a native token called Unicoin, and where revenues are generated by institutional trading rather than by redistributing user stakes.
SafeBets situates its launch amid a rapid expansion of the prediction market industry. According to figures cited by the company, the sector expanded from $0.5 billion in volume in 2022 to $63.5 billion in 2025 - a 127-fold increase - and research firm Eilers & Krejcik projects that annual trading volume could reach $1 trillion by 2030. Against that backdrop, SafeBets said it intends to capture a meaningful portion of the market and set a user target of 200 million by 2030.
Platform architecture and economic model
SafeBets presents its product as a departure from conventional prediction platforms, which are typically zero-sum: one participant's gain is another's loss. Instead, SafeBets positions itself as a platform that monetizes forecasts by leveraging them inside broader financial markets.
Under the company's described approach, the platform aggregates high-performing predictions and deploys that Collective Intelligence to trade cryptocurrencies, commodities, equities, and currencies. SafeBets projects more than $10 billion in annual trading profits from that activity, and says it will allocate half of those profits to rewards for top predictors and Brand Ambassadors.
SafeBets argues this structure alters the scalability ceiling that constrains zero-sum systems. Zero-sum platforms, the company contends, are limited by how much participants are willing to risk; SafeBets, by contrast, links its growth potential to the size of global financial markets, which the company describes as "a pool orders of magnitude larger."
"SafeBets introduces something the financial world has never seen: risk-free betting," said Alex Konanykhin, CEO of SafeBets. "Many people have the analytical skill to read markets better than the crowd, but to date, there has been no accessible, risk-free way to be rewarded for it. SafeBets is not a gambling platform - it is a Collective Intelligence Engine."
Onboarding, scoring, and the Proof-of-Intelligence concept
The company described a user flow designed to remove financial downside for participants. New users receive 100 unicoins at signup, which allow them to make their first 100 predictions across asset classes including crypto, equities, commodities, and currencies. SafeBets emphasizes that no deposit is required and that users cannot lose money as a result of making predictions on the platform.
Predictions are evaluated by a proprietary Collective Intelligence Engine, which scores forecasters on measures including accuracy, consistency, and the magnitude of their calls. The platform's central filtering mechanism is described as the Filtration Pyramid - an open entry funnel that narrows to surface the highest-performing predictors.
"The Filtration Pyramid is the heart of the platform," said Gina Antoniello, Executive Director of SafeBets and Professor at NYU. "Anyone can join. Only the genuinely skilled rise. And when they do, the platform rewards them at a scale that has never been possible before, because their intelligence is generating real, measurable value in real financial markets. That is a fundamentally new relationship between individual insight and institutional trading."
Unicoin: token mechanics and treasury policy
Rather than using multiple fiat currencies, SafeBets will operate with a single native network token, Unicoin, which it bills as the "Smart Coin for Smart People." According to SafeBets, Unicoin can be earned on the platform through its Proof-of-Intelligence mechanism and will also be supported in secondary markets.
The company said it plans to allocate 15-25% of its revenues to purchasing unicoins on crypto exchanges in order to increase liquidity and price stability. SafeBets framed this policy as providing Unicoin with "a fundamental economic grounding" that many other cryptocurrencies lack.
SafeBets described a self-reinforcing dynamic: accurate predictors earn unicoins; the token's value is expected by the company to rise alongside the platform's trading performance; and higher token value, the company says, will attract more and sharper participants, generating stronger signals and larger trading profits.
"Unicoin is what makes the entire system compounding," said Alex Dominguez, Chief Investor Relations Officer of SafeBets. "I believe that the risk-free betting concept of SafeBets is so unique, intriguing, and appealing that over a billion people may try their prediction skills on SafeBets, especially once we add sports predictions. All SafeBets users will learn about the advantages of Unicoin and start using it for making predictions on SafeBets.world. That may result in the Unicoin community becoming larger than the communities of any other cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin. I’m confident that Unicoin may become the leading cryptocurrency."
Regulatory positioning and international availability
SafeBets stressed that because the platform accepts no financial wagers and places no user capital at risk, it operates outside gambling classifications that have limited conventional prediction markets in many jurisdictions. The company said this legal posture enables immediate access to markets that have effectively been closed to competitors.
"In short, SafeBets can reach every market, including the 85+ jurisdictions currently closed to its competitors, from day one. And here at the first conference of the Prediction Industry, we announced that we intend to do so," Konanykhin said.
