Space selected in Binance Research ecosystem report: Key signals of the predictive market leverage layer are emerging

Original source: Space

In the crypto industry, the signals truly worth paying attention to often don't come from market noise, but from the "rare moves" of a few authoritative institutions.

Recently, Space was included in Binance Research's quarterly ecosystem report, becoming the only prediction market project highlighted despite not having completed its TGE. Among numerous mature projects already launched and circulating, Space's "exceptional" selection releases a highly directional market signal.

Authoritative attention often heralds trends

Binance Research's ecosystem reports are published only four times a year, covering not ordinary early-stage projects but infrastructure and protocols that Binance focuses on at the ecosystem level, possessing long-term potential and structural value.

Against this backdrop, Space being uniquely listed as the only non-TGE project alongside multiple mature projects that have completed issuance itself demonstrates high scarcity. This not only represents Binance Research's strong endorsement of Space's product logic and market positioning but also signifies its entry into the intersection of primary and secondary market attention.

Historically, such public, restrained yet clear authoritative signals often share similarities with early public attention from top institutions like CoinList and Paradigm on key sector projects—it's not marketing but a judgment on "direction."

More than a prediction market: A "leverage layer" for prediction markets

Unlike traditional prediction markets, Space doesn't stop at "outcome guessing" or "binary gambling."

What Space builds is a Leverage Layer for prediction markets—focusing on orderbook structure, leverage mechanisms, and information reflection efficiency—aiming to upgrade prediction markets from low-capital-efficiency betting models to financial instruments with professional trading attributes.

In Space's design, predictions are no longer just expressions of opinion but risk exposures that can be amplified, managed, priced, and traded. This approach is pushing prediction markets closer to the paradigm of derivatives trading.

Core mechanism: Reconstructing prediction markets around capital efficiency and trading experience

Space's product mechanism revolves around three core goals: "capital efficiency," "liquidity," and "user retention":

Central Limit Order Book (CLOB): Adopts the same orderbook mechanism as mainstream exchanges, with real user counterparties, avoiding slippage and efficiency losses from AMM.

0% Maker fees: Encourages market-making behavior, fostering natural depth and liquidity formation.

Up to 10x leverage: Introduces leverage mechanisms in prediction markets, giving high-conviction trades greater capital efficiency and profit elasticity.

50% protocol revenue for buybacks and burns: Directly feeds real protocol revenue back into the token system, building long-term scarcity.

Comprehensive user retention flywheel design:

Gamified points and level systems

Seasonal airdrop mechanisms

Liquidity incentives and referral reward models

This entire mechanism makes Space not just a "prediction platform" but more like a trading system built around prediction behavior, with financial depth and long-term incentive structures.

2026: The reheating of prediction market narratives

Entering 2026, prediction markets are returning to the core of industry narratives.

Against a backdrop of rising macroeconomic uncertainty and intensifying information fragmentation, the market's demand for "verifiable, pricable, tradable truth mechanisms" continues to grow. Prediction markets are gradually shifting from marginal gambling tools to important infrastructure for information discovery and consensus formation.

In this trend, Space happens to be at the intersection of three factors:

Scarce attention signals released by authoritative institutions

Differentiated product mechanisms centered on leverage and orderbooks

The structural return of prediction market narratives in the new cycle

This gives Space not just short-term attention but long-term strategic value.

Public sale enters final stage

Space's public sale has entered its countdown phase, with just 5 days remaining. To date, the sale has raised over $12 million, with approximately 500% oversubscription, demonstrating strong market demand and recognition. This round of public sale features 100% TGE unlock and is open to all community users.
