Mantle has unveiled InsightX, an AI-driven prediction market platform that turns forecasts into yield-generating on-chain trading positions. The company said the product, described as “InfoFi” infrastructure, combines artificial intelligence, real-time data processing, and blockchain execution, with availability planned ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Platform blends predictions with yield generation
InsightX enables traders to take positions on outcomes tied to cryptocurrency assets, global macro trends, sporting events, and other real-world activities. Unlike traditional prediction markets, capital committed to forecasts continues to earn returns through liquidity provision, protocol fees, stablecoin strategies, and collateral-based mechanisms.
The approach is designed to address idle capital, allowing funds to remain productive throughout the life cycle of a prediction market.
Three-layer architecture powers execution
The platform operates on a three-layer system that includes an AI intelligence layer, an execution layer handling pricing and liquidity, and a settlement layer built on Mantle’s blockchain. This structure supports automated market activity, low-cost trade execution, and transparent verification of outcomes.
Mantle said its network was chosen for scalability and its ability to handle high-frequency trading tied to information-based financial applications.
Growth of Mantle ecosystem supports rollout
The launch expands Mantle’s broader ecosystem, which integrates decentralized finance with traditional financial infrastructure. The network currently manages more than $2 billion in community-owned assets and supports products such as mETH, fBTC, and MI4, alongside partnerships with issuers including Ethena USDe, Ondo USDY, and OP-Succinct.
Recent data shows strong growth across the network. Real-world asset value locked rose 27.4% quarter over quarter to $247.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, while broader decentralized finance activity increased more than 282% to $648 million.
Prediction markets see surge in activity
InsightX enters a rapidly expanding sector. On-chain prediction markets have seen monthly trading volumes exceed $25 billion in early 2026, with projections suggesting annual volumes could approach $240 billion.
The inclusion of an AI intelligence layer reflects a shift toward automated market making and data-driven pricing. By processing large datasets into live signals, these systems aim to create markets that respond faster and potentially produce more accurate probability estimates than those based purely on human sentiment.
World Cup expected to test platform at scale
The timing of the launch aligns with the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is expected to drive significant activity in prediction markets. Analysts estimate the event could generate between $5 billion and $10 billion in additional volume, with more than $2 billion already committed to related contracts before kickoff.
This event is likely to serve as an early test of InsightX’s liquidity depth, pricing efficiency, and AI-driven market mechanisms, as traders evaluate how yield-bearing prediction positions perform under high demand.
