Polymarket Seeks $50M Boost as Election Betting Hits Record
Sep 24, 2024 at 11:45 pm
Polymarket, the top decentralized prediction platform, is capitalizing on a massive surge in 2024 U.S. election betting.
Decentralized prediction platform Polymarket is reportedly seeking to raise $50 million in a new funding round as users stake a massive amount of crypto on its 2024 U.S. election markets.
The platform, which allows users to predict the outcome of various events and trade on those predictions, has seen a significant surge in activity this year. According to data from Dune Analytics, around $1 billion has been staked on Polymarket's election markets, with the platform's trade volume reaching an all-time high of $472 million in August alone.
Now, in an effort to capitalize on this growth and further expand its operations, Polymarket is planning a new token launch, which would enhance the platform's real-world event validation process.
Currently, Polymarket relies on external oracles, such as UMA, to validate the outcomes of real-world events. However, by launching its own token, users would be able to participate in validating these events, making the process more efficient and decentralized.
Additionally, the token could also generate revenue for Polymarket, as users may be required to stake the token to participate in event validation. This would mark a shift from Polymarket's previous model, which does not involve a native platform token.
Despite its popularity, Polymarket's rapid expansion has also drawn the attention of regulators. In 2022, the platform settled with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission for $1.4 million over offering unregistered event markets.
The platform's geo-blocking measures have also come under scrutiny, with concerns arising that U.S. users are finding ways to circumvent the restrictions and access the platform.
As the 2024 election approaches, Polymarket's plans to raise $50 million and launch a token are set to propel the platform even further ahead in the decentralized prediction market. With its platform brimming with activity and users flocking to predict the next move in the political arena, Polymarket is poised to continue expanding its influence in the crypto space.
