Predict.fun has launched a self-service developer dashboard that lets builders create applications, generate API keys, monitor usage and manage rate limits from one interface.

Predict.fun developer dashboard centralizes API access

Predict.fun said in a post on X that the new portal gives developers direct control over several tasks previously handled through separate support channels. Users can create applications, issue keys, and view their current usage limits through the dashboard.

Existing keys can also be imported, allowing developers with active integrations to manage them alongside newly created credentials. Predict.fun did not disclose whether imported keys retain their current permissions or require any changes during the transfer.

Before the dashboard launch, Predict.fun’s public developer documentation directed users to join its Discord server and open a support ticket to request an API key. The documentation describes the platform’s REST API as a beta product and asks developers to report problems through the same Discord channel.

Moving key generation into a self-service portal removes that manual step for new applications. Predict.fun did not specify whether Discord-based requests will remain available or whether all future key management will move to the dashboard.

The portal also gives developers access to their usage and rate-limit information. When an application requires more capacity, its owner can manually request a higher usage-based tier through the interface, according to the announcement.

Predict.fun did not publish the request criteria, review period, or call allowances attached to each tier. The company also did not say whether access to higher limits carries a fee or depends on an application’s trading activity.

Trade burst limits apply to order activity

Alongside the dashboard, Predict.fun has introduced “trade burst” limits covering calls used to create and cancel orders. The control restricts how many of those requests an application can send each second.

Every new application will have the restriction enabled by default. Existing applications will receive the burst limit the next time their owners request an adjustment to their rate limits, rather than having it added immediately across all active integrations.

The company did not disclose the number of order calls allowed per second or whether the ceiling differs between usage tiers. It also did not provide separate limits for creating and canceling orders.

Predict.fun’s API documentation shows that developers can submit new orders, remove individual orders, and cancel groups of orders through dedicated endpoints. Applications can also retrieve market data, order books, market statistics, account activity, and user positions.

For live data, the platform provides WebSocket connections covering subscriptions, response formats, and heartbeats. Its developer tools also include OAuth endpoints through which an integrated application can finalize a connection, place or cancel orders, and retrieve a connected user’s positions.

The order-related restrictions apply to the rate at which applications send requests, not to the number of markets developers can display or the total positions held by users. Predict.fun did not announce changes to its market-data, account, or WebSocket limits.

No security incident or service disruption was cited as the reason for introducing the controls. The company described them as part of the updated usage-management system available through its developer portal.

Dashboard follows Predict.fun’s BNB Chain expansion

The developer release follows several additions to Predict.fun’s distribution and infrastructure during 2026. Built on BNB Chain, the platform lets users trade tokenized positions tied to outcomes in categories including crypto, sports, politics, and economic events.

Predict.fun completed its acquisition of Probable in March. Probable had been incubated by PancakeSwap and YZi Labs before its technology was folded into Predict.fun’s product stack.

The companies said the transaction would combine their work on market design, order execution, and collateral use. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao welcomed the deal at the time, describing it as a combination of two projects operating in BNB Chain’s prediction-market sector.

In April, YZi Labs disclosed a follow-on Predict.fun investment that included Susquehanna Crypto, the digital-asset arm of Susquehanna International Group. Figures shared with the announcement showed that Predict.fun had processed more than 4 million orders and over $1.8 billion in cumulative trading volume since launching in December 2025.

YZi Labs said Predict.fun had graduated from the second season of its EASY Residency program. The investor described the protocol as combining self-custody, gasless transactions, and yield earned on collateral while prediction positions remain open.

Developer access could allow third-party interfaces and trading services to connect to the same underlying markets, although Predict.fun has not named any new applications built through the dashboard. The platform’s API already supports market discovery, order-book data, trade execution, account activity and position tracking.

Predict.fun’s existing distribution includes Binance Wallet, which added in-app market access in April. Under that integration, Predict.fun operates the events, pricing, and resolution rules while eligible Binance Wallet users reach the markets through the Binance app.

The integration supports market and limit orders, with transactions executed through Predict.fun’s smart contracts. Binance Wallet said it sponsors trading and settlement gas fees and allows users to trade with balances held in their spot and funding accounts.

US prediction markets face separate access rules

Predict.fun did not state whether applications created through the dashboard may serve users in the United States. Its announcement focused on developer access, key management and technical request limits rather than regional availability or regulatory permissions.

For US developers, an API key does not itself establish permission to offer event contracts to American customers. Platforms serving that market can face federal commodities requirements as well as state rules governing sports betting and gambling products.

Binance.US said in July that it planned to seek a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-designated contract market license as part of its effort to offer federally regulated prediction markets. If approved, the license would allow the exchange to list event contracts under CFTC oversight.

The reported CFTC license plan would place Binance.US in a segment that already includes federally regulated operators such as Kalshi and Polymarket US. Coinbase has also provided event-contract access through a partnership with Kalshi.

State authorities continue to dispute whether federal commodities oversight prevents them from enforcing local gambling rules against some sports-related contracts. Predict.fun’s dashboard announcement did not address that conflict, identify supported US jurisdictions, or announce a US-regulated entity.

The company also did not provide a timetable for taking the REST API out of beta. Its public documentation continues to list endpoints for categories, markets, orders, accounts, positions, search, and OAuth, along with TypeScript and Python authentication guides.

Bitcoin traded near $77,500 on Sept. 1 as rising oil prices, higher bond yields and renewed US rate-hike concerns outweighed strong spot ETF inflows, while short-term technical indicators pointed to weakening momentum.

Bitcoin price loses short-term support

According to data from crypto.news, Bitcoin (BTC) price was trading around $77,500 at the time of writing, down approximately 1.6% over the previous 24 hours. The asset reached $79,225 earlier in the session before sellers pushed it to an intraday low of $77,318.

The retreat took Bitcoin below the $77,700–$78,000 short-term support range and left it about 4.6% below the recent local high near $81,280.

BTC remains well above its main daily moving averages despite the pullback. The daily chart places the 20-day simple moving average at $73,198, while the 50-day and 100-day averages sit at $67,924 and $66,285, respectively.

Bitcoin also remains above the 200-day SMA near $69,504. The alignment leaves the broader trend constructive, as shorter moving averages have moved above their longer-term counterparts following August’s rally.

Daily momentum has started to cool, however. The relative strength index has fallen to 66 from an earlier overbought reading above 70. An RSI above 50 still favors buyers, but the decline suggests the market is losing some momentum after its rapid move from the $64,000 area.

Rising oil prices and yields pressure Bitcoin

The pullback followed renewed pressure across global markets as oil prices and government bond yields moved higher.

Brent crude rose roughly 2% to $92.04 per barrel as renewed fighting between the United States and Iran revived concerns over supply disruptions.

More expensive energy can keep inflation elevated by raising transportation and production costs. Persistent inflation would reduce the Federal Reserve’s room to lower interest rates and could revive expectations for tighter US monetary policy.

A simultaneous global bond selloff pushed yields higher, adding pressure to risk assets. Rising yields make interest-bearing government securities more attractive relative to assets such as Bitcoin, which does not generate a fixed return.

The macro pressure arrived despite renewed demand for US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. Farside Investors data show that the products attracted a combined $216.7 million during the latest completed trading session.

BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for $205.9 million of the total. The daily inflow reversed the $201.9 million net withdrawal recorded on Aug. 28, though Bitcoin’s subsequent decline suggests macro-related selling temporarily exceeded ETF demand.

4-hour indicators point to weak momentum

Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart shows the price testing the lower Bollinger Band at approximately $77,473. The band’s middle line stands near $78,262, while the upper boundary sits at $79,050.

Trading near the lower band reflects immediate selling pressure, but it does not confirm a larger breakdown by itself. A recovery above the middle band would put $79,050 back in focus, while a 4-hour close below the lower boundary could expose the recent lows.

The average directional index has dropped to 12.6 on the same timeframe. An ADX reading below 20 normally indicates that neither buyers nor sellers control a strong trend, making range-bound and uneven price action more likely.

BTC would need to recover the $78,260 Bollinger midpoint before challenging $79,050. Above that level, the $79,500–$80,000 zone represents the next major resistance area, followed by the recent peaks between $80,800 and $81,300.

Failure to recover the middle band would leave Bitcoin vulnerable to another test of $77,000. A confirmed close below that level would weaken the short-term structure even though the daily moving averages remain bullish.

Liquidation clusters surround the current price

CoinGlass’s one-week liquidation heatmap shows a growing concentration of leveraged positions just below Bitcoin’s current market price.

The nearest liquidity cluster appears between approximately $76,500 and $77,000. A larger downside pool is visible closer to $76,000, giving traders two nearby levels to watch if selling accelerates.

Upside liquidity is concentrated around $79,500, with additional clusters between $80,000 and $82,000. Price can gravitate toward areas containing large concentrations of leveraged positions, but the heatmap does not predict which cluster will be reached first.

Derivatives data do not currently point to widespread forced deleveraging. Notably, about $33 million in Bitcoin liquidations, including $19.6 million in long positions and $13.4 million in shorts.

Bitcoin futures open interest stood near $25.3 billion, rising only 0.6%–0.9% over 24 hours. Average funding remained positive at 0.0066% per eight hours, below the commonly referenced 0.01% baseline. The combination suggests leveraged traders remain positioned, but bullish exposure is not yet unusually crowded.

Bitcoin must defend the $76,500 support zone

The $76,500–$77,000 region is Bitcoin’s main immediate support. The lower 4-hour Bollinger Band and a nearby liquidation cluster add technical importance to that range.

A sustained break below $76,500 could extend the decline toward $75,700–$76,000. If buyers fail to defend that secondary area, the daily chart points to $72,500–$73,200 as the next major support, with the 20-day SMA reinforcing the upper end of the zone.

The bullish scenario requires Bitcoin to reclaim $77,700–$78,260 and then close above $79,050. A move through $79,500–$80,000 could trigger liquidations among short positions and reopen the path toward $81,000–$82,000.

Pseudonymous trader Eliz maintained a longer-term bullish view despite the short-term volatility, describing purchases above the $65,000–$68,000 range as a “bargain” and saying Bitcoin would eventually trade higher. The forecast remains the trader’s opinion rather than a confirmed market outcome.

For US investors, oil prices, Treasury yields and expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next policy decision remain the main external catalysts. ETF inflows continue to provide institutional demand, but Bitcoin’s next directional move may depend on whether buyers can defend $76,500 while macro conditions remain restrictive.

U.S. officials have previously objected to Russia attending G20 meetings

Chainlink has made six official U.S. economic data feeds covering GDP, inflation, and private domestic demand available across 10 public blockchain networks.

Chainlink said the U.S. Department of Commerce is using its oracle infrastructure to distribute macroeconomic statistics produced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, giving blockchain applications access to government figures without requiring developers to enter each release manually.

The program covers real gross domestic product, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers. Each indicator is available through two feeds: one reports the current level, while the other shows its quarter-over-quarter change at an annualized rate.

Data is initially available on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic, and ZKsync. Chainlink said support for other networks can be added in response to user demand.

Although Chainlink drew fresh attention to the arrangement in a recent X post, the feeds were first announced in August 2025. The Commerce Department worked with both Chainlink and Pyth Network at the time, using the two oracle providers to place selected BEA data on public blockchains.

Chainlink feeds deliver six US economic measures

Real GDP measures the value of goods and services produced in the United States after adjusting for inflation. The level feed reports the figure in billions of chained 2017 dollars, while the second feed records the quarter-over-quarter percentage change at a seasonally adjusted annual rate.

The PCE Price Index tracks changes in the prices U.S. consumers pay for goods and services. The Federal Reserve uses PCE data as its preferred inflation measure when assessing progress toward its 2% target, making the releases closely watched by investors across stocks, bonds, currencies and digital assets.

Chainlink’s PCE feeds provide both the headline index level, with 2017 set as the base year, and the quarter-over-quarter annualized change. The BEA publishes monthly PCE estimates as part of its Personal Income and Outlays report, while quarterly readings also appear in the national economic accounts.

Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers, the third indicator, measures inflation-adjusted spending by consumers and private businesses. By excluding government spending, exports, and inventory changes, the figure provides a focused measure of private domestic demand, according to the BEA.

Its two feeds follow the same structure used for GDP: one reports the level in chained 2017 dollars, and the other gives the annualized quarterly rate of change. Chainlink updates the six feeds monthly or quarterly, depending on when the BEA releases the underlying figures.

Government data can support automated onchain products

Oracle networks connect blockchains with information created outside their systems. Smart contracts cannot retrieve government statistics on their own, so an oracle provides the data in a format that blockchain applications can read and use.

According to Chainlink, direct access to BEA figures could support inflation-linked digital assets, prediction markets, perpetual futures, and automated trading products. Developers may also use the feeds to build dashboards or adjust risk settings in decentralized finance protocols after a new economic report is published.

A prediction market, for example, could use an official feed to settle a contract tied to quarterly GDP growth. An inflation-linked product could reference the PCE Price Index, while a lending protocol could incorporate changes in private demand into a predefined risk model. Chainlink identified each of those areas as a possible use rather than a product already launched through the Commerce Department arrangement.

The data feeds do not release economic statistics earlier than the government’s usual publication channels. Updates follow the BEA schedule, meaning onchain users receive the same underlying figures released to the public through official reports.

Chainlink said its feed infrastructure has received ISO 27001 certification and a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation. Such credentials concern the controls and information-security processes supporting the service; they do not remove the need for individual applications to manage smart-contract, market, and data-integration risks.

Commerce Department previously placed GDP on nine networks

The Chainlink feeds form one part of the Commerce Department’s blockchain data program. In August 2025, the department separately published second-quarter U.S. GDP information across nine networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.

As previously covered on crypto.news, the agency published a cryptographic hash of its full report and the reported 3.3% annualized GDP growth rate. Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken helped distribute the information, while Chainlink and Pyth supported other parts of the program.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick described the initiative as a way to make U.S. economic information globally accessible and resistant to alteration.

“We are making America’s economic truth immutable and globally accessible like never before, cementing our role as the blockchain capital of the world.”

Publishing a hash on a blockchain differs from maintaining an oracle feed. A hash can help users confirm that a document has not changed, while a data feed places a specific value in a format that smart contracts can reference during automated transactions.

Chainlink expands feeds for tokenized financial assets

Chainlink has also extended its data infrastructure to tokenized stocks and other real-world assets. On Aug. 26, the company introduced price feeds for Coinbase-issued versions of Nvidia, Apple, Meta, and Alphabet shares on Base.

The NVDAc, AAPLc, METAc, and GOOGLc feeds allow lending applications to calculate collateral values, borrowing limits, loan health, and liquidation thresholds. Coinbase currently limits the underlying tokenized stock products to eligible non-U.S. investors, meaning the Chainlink integration does not make the assets available to U.S. users.

In an Aug. 10 research note, Standard Chartered set a $200 target for LINK by the end of 2030. Analyst Geoff Kendrick based the forecast partly on expected growth in tokenized assets and decentralized finance, projecting that assets held on blockchains could reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028. The estimate represents the bank’s forecast and is not guaranteed.

Coinbase’s initial Chainlink-supported stock feeds use total-return values that combine the underlying share price with information from the exchange’s onchain oracle registry. Supported assets are issued under Coinbase’s B20 token standard, with each token representing an interest in a U.S.-listed share held through the product’s custody structure.
