Summary

OKX has expanded its 2026 World Cup prediction event by opening a standalone 1 BTC prize pool for the June 12 3:00 a.m. Beijing time match between Mexico and South Africa. The separate pool sits alongside the campaign’s broader rewards structure, while points earned from the match still count toward the overall rankings and the 16.66 BTC campaign prize pool. The event allows users to claim free points and use them to forecast the tournament winner, Golden Boot and single-match results. OKX has said some matches will later be co-developed and titled with partner projects under a collaboration mechanism. The company also described the campaign as the first proprietary market built on its previously released Exchange OS and said it will run through the end of the 2026 World Cup.
