Users wager virtual currency called “cred” on future events, earning points for correct predictions and losing them for wrong ones. No real money is involved. One question on the app asked whether former Apple CEO Tim Cook will become the next chief executive of Nvidia (NVDA), according to the report. The project was previously called Arena, after CEO Mark Zuckerberg directed a team to build a prediction-market product. The Journal said there's no indication of when, or whether, Meta will release Takes to the public. Meta shares closed at $641.69, up 2.9% from Thursday's close of $623.61.
