Coinbase's prediction markets, offered through its futures broker on Kalshi's exchange. Coinbase does not publish a state-by-state list we could confirm. Coinbase launched in all 50 states in January 2026. Its own help center could not be opened. Third-party reviews from September and October 2026 say Coinbase now excludes Nevada after a state-court injunction. Coinbase agreed to stop sports contracts in Michigan as of 2026-10-10.

What we couldn't confirm: Coinbase's help center (help.coinbase.com, including /coinbase/prediction-markets/buy-sell, /trading-and-funding/prediction-markets/intro and /apply) was blocked in this session, so its own state list, age rule, KYC steps and tax documents were not read directly. Nevada exclusion rests on third-party reviews describing Coinbase's help center, plus the reported March 2026 state-court injunction. The help page itself was not opened. Tax reporting: DeFi Rate says CFM issues Form 1099-B for futures activity but that prediction-specific reporting is 'not yet documented'. No Coinbase statement on event-contract tax forms was found. Whether Coinbase stopped sports contracts in Connecticut or Ohio after the September/October 2026 orders. New York: the attorney general reportedly sued Coinbase Financial Markets in April 2026 (per the project's states dataset). Not re-opened today, and Coinbase's New York availability is unknown. Whether Coinbase routes to any DCM besides Kalshi. Michigan's release refers to contracts on 'KalshiEX and other designated contract markets'. Minimum age (18) comes from DeFi Rate and NEXTPredict, not a Coinbase page.
