Largest prediction market platform — trade on real-world events
Polymarket is the world's largest prediction-market platform, where users trade USDC-denominated shares in the outcomes of real-world events — elections, sports, economic indicators, geopolitics. It processed over $10B in volume during the 2024 US presidential election cycle and became a mainstream alternative data source for political and macro forecasting. In July 2025 it acquired CFTC-licensed exchange QCEX/QCX to relaunch legally in the US, and in October 2025 closed a $2B strategic round led by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), valuing the company at ~$9B.
