Polymarket
Polymarket is the largest prediction market by volume, letting users trade contracts on the outcome of political, economic, and cultural events. The platform settled $2.8B in monthly volume during Q1 2026 across 12,000+ active markets, and has become the go-to primary source for probability-based news coverage.
The 2024 election cycle was the platform's inflection point: mainstream outlets from the New York Times to CNN cited Polymarket odds in real-time, and daily active users doubled twice inside three months. The team parlayed that attention into a sustained editorial partnership with Nate Silver and a growing mobile-first user base of 1.4M.
In 2026 Polymarket is expanding into sports, entertainment, and macro-economic markets while working through regulatory clarity in the United States following the 2025 CFTC guidance.
The first prediction market with genuine consumer momentum. Election cycle 2024 proved the surface, we doubled down on the growth round.
