## Key points

- Meta staff are testing the Takes prediction-market app.
- Bets use “cred”, not real money.
- Public release plans are unclear.

## Summary

Newly added details say Meta staff are testing Takes, an internal prediction-market app where they use a virtual currency called “cred” to forecast outcomes. The trial shows Meta is exploring prediction markets, a format gaining attention among younger users, but there is no indication the app will be released publicly.

The Wall Street Journal report, citing people familiar with the matter, says the app is not available to the public and its launch prospects are unclear. Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A recent S&P Global Market Intelligence Kagan survey found just over 60 per cent of Kalshi and Polymarket users are under 35.
