Backpack Launches Unified Prediction Market Portfolio in Private Beta
Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante unveiled the platform's unified prediction portfolio on January 13, marking a strategic push into prediction markets. The invite-only beta enables traders to manage spot, derivatives, predictions, and fiat through a single margin account—addressing capital inefficiencies plaguing traditional prediction markets.
The system integrates hedging via perpetual contracts with portfolio management tools, including TP/SL orders and grid bots. Ferrante emphasized how locked capital in conventional prediction markets creates opportunity costs, positioning Backpack's solution as a liquidity breakthrough for crypto traders.
