1win Markets turns crypto's next five minutes into a two-button decision ⏱️

1win Markets has launched Crypto Live, a new prediction category that frames short-term cryptocurrency price moves as a binary higher-versus-lower choice, the company announced from Willemstad, Curaçao, on September 24, 2026. Under the format, users select whether the price of a major cryptocurrency will finish above or below its opening level when the round begins, with round durations ranging from five minutes to one day.

At launch, Crypto Live covers $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $BNB, $XRP and $DOGE, and runs across five separate timeframes. The mechanics are uniform regardless of asset or interval: if Bitcoin opens a five-minute round at $110,000, a user picking "Higher" wins only if BTC closes that round above $110,000; a finish below would settle the round for "Lower." No exact price target is required, and rounds reopen continuously throughout the day, matching crypto's 24/7 trading cycle.

The format is built for near-instant resolution compared with longer-duration prediction markets, where outcomes can take days, weeks or months. Shorter rounds let participants respond to intraday volatility across multiple market conditions, and the directional question removes the need to forecast specific price levels such as $112,000 for Bitcoin or $4,500 for Ethereum. Additional features, including the ability to enter upcoming rounds and manage multiple active positions, are planned after launch, with Crypto Live operating as its own dedicated category inside the 1win Markets product.

1win was founded in 2016 and operates as a crypto entertainment platform serving users across Asia, Latin America and Africa. In 2026, the company added rapper Tyga, UFC fighter Ilia Topuria, reggaeton artist Nicky Jam, Olympic champion and UFC competitor Gable Steveson, and UFC interviewer and content creator Nina Drama to its VIP community.
