Gate Update: World Cup Predictions, TradFi Milestones, And A $2M Stock Gala

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches its opening kickoff, Gate has launched what may be its most ambitious prediction product to date — a dedicated World Cup Hub within its Prediction Market, covering all 104 matches of the tournament with a total prize pool exceeding 500,000 USDT.
