Best Crypto Coins To Watch As FIFA World Cup Fuels $5B Prediction Market Boom
Highlights
- POL, CHZ and LINK are well-positioned to gain as prediction market volumes surge.
- Polymarket and Kalshi have seen a record $5B volumes in their FIFA World Cup Winner prediction markets.
- These volumes could create a new record this week ahead of the final tournament on July 19.
The FIFA World Cup Winner markets on Polymarket and Kalshi have recorded $5 billion in total volumes, and with six days left before the FIFA Men’s World Cup ends on July 19, investors are now watching the best crypto coins that could benefit from this boom.
The three best crypto coins to watch amid this prediction market frenzy include Chainlink (LINK), Polygon (POL), and Chiliz (CHZ), with each of them being well-positioned in the prediction markets and sports space to gain ahead of the July 19 final.
Kalshi and PolyMarket FIFA World Cup Markets Hit $5B in Volumes
Data from Polymarket shows that the World Cup Winner market that opened in July 2025 has $4.2 billion in volume.
The same market running on Kalshi has also seen $1.16 billion in volumes, bringing the total volumes on the top two leading prediction markets to $5 billion.
The two markets will resolve on July 19, after the World Cup final match occurs.
The rising volumes have not only moved investors to watch crypto coins but also prediction market stocks like Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) and Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD).
In June, analysts from Bernstein also forecast that prediction markets could see a $3 billion increase in volumes because of the FIFA World Cup, and this could supercharge the revenues of Coinbase and Robinhood.
But besides crypto stocks, three coins that are playing a crucial role around the FIFA World Cup and prediction markets are benefiting from this boom.
POL Crypto Coin Outperforms the Broader Market
POL is one of the top crypto coins to watch as the FIFA World Cup final match draws near because the biggest prediction market, Polymarket, runs on Polygon.
Data from CoinMarketCap shows that the price of POL is up by 2.44% today, July 13, to trade at $0.081 at the time of writing. The gains come despite Bitcoin and Ethereum dropping by 1.4% and 0.7%, respectively.
This crypto coin has moved from $0.067 on July 1 to $0.081 on July 13 amid high buying pressure.
The RSI of 64 suggests that the momentum is favoring bulls. This could push POL price to the neckline resistance of $0.084.
If the price closes above this resistance of $0.084, a 24% rally could occur that will push the price to the May 2026 high of $0.10.
The MACD line that has shifted positive also supports a bullish long-term POL price forecast that the crypto coin could reach $0.10.
CHZ Price Signals Bullish Reversal as Fan Tokens Surge
The reason why Chiliz is one of the best crypto coins to watch ahead of the FIFA World Cup final match is because the fan tokens that are created on its Socios platform are booming.
One of these tokens is the Argentine Football Association Fan Token that has seen $1.27 million in trading volumes today, July 13.
These rising volumes for the fan tokens have pushed an increase in buying pressure for the Chiliz crypto coin.
The CMF indicator that has turned positive with a reading of 0.02 now suggests the buying pressure is more than the selling pressure.
If the buying pressure remains high, CHZ price could rise to the July 11 high of $0.018.
Closing above this obstacle at $0.018 could see this crypto coin target the psychological resistance of $0.20.
But if the uptrend fails, CHZ price could drop to the support level of $0.016.
Chainlink Crypto Coin Consolidates Within Symmetrical Triangle
Chainlink is also another crypto coin to watch as FIFA World Cup markets boom because FIFA’s official prediction partner, ADI Predictstreet, uses Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infrastructure.
LINK price has moved from $0.01 on June 25 to $7.9 today, July 13. This gain has led to the creation of a symmetrical triangle.
The AO bars that are positive and growing in length also support a bullish long-term Chainlink price prediction.
LINK is currently testing the resistance of $8.06, and if it can close above this price for three straight days, the price could gain by 20%. This gain will be the same as the height of the symmetrical triangle.
But if LINK fails to close above $8.06 and moves below the lower boundary of the symmetrical triangle, the price could drop by 20%.
