Prediction markets just went full beast mode.
Polymarket — the crypto-powered betting platform where you can wager on *everything* from elections to geopolitics — is reportedly locking in a \$200 million raise at a jaw-dropping \$1 **billion** valuation.
And guess who’s leading the charge? Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund.
Yes, the same platform banned in the U.S., raided by the FBI, and blocked across multiple countries… is now a **unicorn**.
🔥 What’s fueling this rocket?
✅ Explosive growth during the 2024 US elections — \$2.5B in volume in November alone
✅ Over \$1.1B in monthly trading volume this year
✅ Massive traction: 1.2 million traders, 20 million open positions, and 21,000 active markets
✅ Recent collab with Elon Musk’s X and Grok to blend real-time predictions with AI
Polymarket lets users bet on:
— Will Israel strike Iran again?
— Will there be a US recession in 2025?
— Will the GENIUS Act stablecoin bill be signed this year? (Market says 87% yes)
— And even NYC’s next mayoral primary outcome
But with that success comes serious heat:
🚫 Banned in the US, France, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Poland, and Belgium
🕵️♂️ Founder’s devices seized by the FBI in November
🎯 Accusations of potential market manipulation
Despite all that? Investors are pouring in.
Polymarket is wild, controversial, and surging — and now it’s being taken seriously by some of the biggest names in VC.
Love it or hate it, prediction markets just became *unignorable*.
And Polymarket? It's betting on the future — and *winning*.
