DATA.BET Unveils Crypto Up or Down and API Access in Prediction Markets Update

DATA.BET has launched a major update to its Prediction Markets product, debuting a new crypto-oriented "Up or Down" market type, deeper data widget functionality for Crypto and Finance, and an API alongside its existing iFrame deployment. This expansion aims to provide operators with an always-on betting vertical, complete with accelerated settlement cycles and expanded integration options.

New "Up or Down" Market Type Targets Crypto

The most significant addition in this release is the crypto-centred "Up or Down" market type. Rather than relying on drawn-out resolution periods typical of traditional prediction markets, this format opens with a price target and lets users bet whether the asset moves up or down from that line. Settlement horizons span five intervals—5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily—all settled at fixed decimal odds. This mechanic mimics trading-style decisions and enables frequent market resolutions, bypassing the need to tie bets to sporting schedules or long-term events.

DATA.BET describes the move as an answer to operators' demands for fast-turnover, always-available markets. The goal is to appeal to a user segment seeking short-cycle results commonly associated with crypto trading or financial betting, rather than traditional sportsbook fixtures. "Prediction Markets was built to give operators a fast-moving, always-on offering that runs independently of the sports calendar," said Rostyslav Likhtin, Head of Product at DATA.BET.

Expanded Data Widgets for Crypto and Finance Markets

In tandem with the new market type, DATA.BET rolled out live and historical data widgets tailored for Crypto and Finance. These widgets are designed to boost user engagement and transparency by providing:

• Live asset prices
• Visual representation of the target line on charts
• Countdown timers to settlement
• Market-specific volume statistics
• Published resolution conditions prior to market opening

Coverage now includes major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), plus traditional commodities including Gold and Oil. Additionally, DATA.BET has introduced probability history widgets covering multiple timeframes—1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and all available history—giving bettors the ability to track trends and review past market behaviour in each category.

API Access and Modular Integration for Operators

A significant technical enhancement in this update is the introduction of API access for the Prediction Markets product. Operators connected to the DATA.BET platform are no longer limited to embedding Prediction Markets via iFrame; they can now use API endpoints to integrate market feeds and widgets directly into their digital properties. According to DATA.BET, operators using the existing odds feed credentials and Sport events API can activate the new markets without a separate integration project, streamlining deployment for current partners.

This flexibility is expected to accelerate time-to-market, especially for bookmakers and platform providers looking to differentiate product offerings across sports and casino sections, or to expand into the evolving crypto and finance markets. The update also supports content management improvements, making it easier for operators to curate the offering to suit local preferences or regulatory criteria.

Broader System Optimisation and Liquidity Module Plans

Beyond product features, DATA.BET has enhanced the platform’s performance in terms of system optimisation and backend stability, anticipating higher volume flows from short-cycle prediction markets. Ongoing development of a liquidity module is also highlighted, targeting improved market-making and risk management as the vertical grows in scale.

The liquidity module is intended to drive stability regardless of the underlying asset class—be it a cryptocurrency market or a financial commodity. DATA.BET positions this infrastructure as preparation for future growth, citing the ability to support larger operator networks and sustained volume as the segment matures.

“We're making it faster to trade, easier to read, and easier to deploy, and this is only the first step in how far we're taking this.” — Rostyslav Likhtin, Head of Product, DATA.BET

Strategic Implications for Betting Operators

The introduction of rapid-settlement, API-accessible prediction markets offers operators a way to diversify beyond traditional event-driven betting. For partners integrated with DATA.BET, the rollout means they can offer a continuous, data-rich, and interactive product that appeals to customers highly familiar with crypto and finance trading cycles. The combination of flexible settlement horizons, dynamic widgets, and API access positions the product as a plug-and-play solution in a competitive B2B landscape.

As the prediction markets sector evolves, DATA.BET's enhancements highlight a shifting demand: the convergence of gaming, finance, and data-driven betting experiences. The focus on user education and simple market access is likely to make these innovations particularly attractive to operators serving crypto-forward audiences, or those looking to hedge seasonal dips in sportsbook demand.
