Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has tasked a small team with making an app that works like prediction markets Polymarket and Kalshi, according to The New York Times. The app, internally called “Arena,” won’t let users wager real money, but instead will “probably rely” on allowing users to bet with points, though Meta apparently hasn’t ruled out eventually allowing people to bet with real money. Arena is set to be independent from Meta’s other apps, though the company plans to point users to it from its other platforms. According to the NYT, Meta insiders characterized the app as a “top priority.” The Wall Street Journal also recently reported that Polymarket paid people to post fake videos of themselves placing bets. Meta and Polymarket didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. Kalshi spokesperson Laura Frank declined to comment.
