Polymarket Gears Up for U.S. Debut With $10B Funding Round: Hold Onto Your Hats!

by

Well, well, well! It seems like Polymarket, that little prediction platform that’s been causing quite a stir, is preparing to set foot on U.S. soil, and it’s got its eyes on a whopping $10 billion valuation! Not too shabby, eh? 🤑

  • Polymarket’s gearing up for a U.S. debut, hoping to score big with its latest funding round
  • The company’s worth could swing from $3 billion to a mind-boggling $10 billion
  • With Donald Trump Jr. joining the board, it’s got the green light to restart U.S. operations. Talk about star power! 🌟

So, why all the fuss? Well, dear reader, blockchain is hot right now, and crypto firms are just tripping over themselves to get a slice of the action. Polymarket, the global prediction platform, is looking at a fresh round of funding, and investors can’t seem to get enough. According to reports from Business Insider (because who else?), Polymarket could be valued anywhere between $3 billion and $10 billion-quite the leap from its previous round in summer 2025, where it was worth just a humble $1 billion. 🙃

Polymarket’s U.S. Comeback

Now, hold onto your hat-this whole thing’s happening right as Polymarket’s gearing up for its U.S. comeback. After being put on ice back in January 2022 due to some regulatory hiccups with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the company’s got the green light to re-enter the good ol’ U.S. of A.

In case you’re wondering, Polymarket was accused of offering off-exchange “event-based binary options” (yeah, sounds complicated) without the necessary paperwork. But don’t worry, they’ve got new management, and they’re back in business. On September 3, Shayne Coplan, Polymarket’s founder, announced they had received the all-clear from the CFTC. 💥

Polymarket has been given the green light to go live in the USA by the @CFTC.

Credit to the Commission and Staff for their impressive work. This process has been accomplished in record timing.

Stay tuned

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any juicier, enter Donald Trump Jr. (yes, you read that right). He’s joined Polymarket’s advisory board after an investment from 1789 Capital on August 26. With the president’s son backing the company, it’s no surprise Polymarket’s now getting the regulatory clout it needs in Washington. Talk about making connections! 😏

“Polymarket is the largest prediction market in the world, and the U.S. needs access to this important platform,” said Donald Trump Jr. “Polymarket cuts through media spin and so-called ‘expert’ opinion by letting people bet on what they actually believe will happen in the world.”
