One prediction market prices this story:

  • MetaMask — the market puts it at 4%, closing 31 Dec 2026. The outcome is Yes if MetaMask launches its own token between now and January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if no such launch occurs by that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about exiting Lido validators as the trigger for resolution, but only a new token launch counts.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
