November 14, according to WSJ, Meta employees have begun testing a prediction market app under development, temporarily named "Takes," which is the internal testing process Meta typically uses before a product is officially publicly released.
People familiar with the matter revealed that users can predict and bet on the outcomes of various questions or events through a virtual points system called "cred" (credibility). Unlike prediction market platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, Takes currently does not support real-money betting.
This internal testing indicates that Meta is exploring prediction market products, but whether and when the app will be opened to the public has not yet been announced.
