On Drift BET, a weather and climate market is a contract on a clearly defined question that settles against a written rule, the named source and date set before trading. A correct side pays one dollar and the other pays nothing, so the price between 1 and 99 cents reads as the implied probability.
Onchain product within a DeFi protocol, outside US regulation; standing is unsettled.
Always read the specific market's resolution rule, not the headline. Fees and spreads reduce real returns, and availability can change.
Drift runs a prediction product called BET on the Solana blockchain, which has focused on areas such as crypto price outcomes and other event questions. Weather and climate coverage is not assured and may not be present at a given time. Check the platform for what exists. This is general information, not advice, current as of October 2025.
No. Drift is a decentralized exchange on Solana, and its BET product uses crypto collateral. It is not a Commodity Futures Trading Commission registered event contract exchange, and decentralized crypto platforms are treated differently and often restricted for United States persons. Confirm the rules for your region before assuming access. As of October 2025.
BET lets users buy yes or no shares on event outcomes using crypto collateral such as USDC and other tokens, settled on chain through the Drift protocol. Because it is decentralized and crypto based, it carries token volatility and smart contract risk on top of market risk. As of October 2025.
An outcome share trades at a price that reads like an implied probability. A share near 60 percent on a weather outcome suggests roughly a 60 percent chance, not a certainty. Forecasts change, the market can be wrong, and you can lose your stake and face crypto volatility.
