Prediction market platform Opinion Labs announces that starting today, its platform Opinion will introduce a 50% Maker Rebate Mechanism. Market makers who complete trades will receive 50% of the trading fee as a reward, paid daily in USDT. The first payout is expected to begin on March 14.
This rebate can be combined with the platform’s existing Maker Liquidity Points program, effectively giving market makers both cash rewards and points accumulation incentives simultaneously, attracting more liquidity to the order book.
According to Opinion’s publicly available roadmap, the Maker rebate mechanism will be tiered based on liquidity contribution in the future. Currently, the 50% rebate is not the maximum; there are higher tiers:
It’s worth noting that competing platform Polymarket also has a Maker rebate program. Opinion’s aggressive liquidity acquisition strategy indicates that competition among prediction market platforms for market maker resources is heating up.
