Polymarket is in early discussions to raise about $1 billion at a valuation exceeding $20 billion, more than doubling its $9 billion price tag from October 2025, according to multiple media reports. The talks follow an April funding round valuing the prediction market platform at $15 billion, backed by D.E. Shaw, G Squared, and Intercontinental Exchange, as U.S. and international trading volumes and annualized revenue have surged. Any new deal would mark the first financing since Polymarket’s U.S. exchange fully opened, while the company contends with a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission probe into allegedly deceptive promotions and faces intensifying rivalry from Kalshi.
