According to @nic__carter, the prediction market sector is heating up as two key players, Polymarket and Kalshi, have reportedly achieved $1 billion unicorn valuations. Kalshi, a federally regulated platform, raised over $100 million in a round led by crypto-focused VC firm Paradigm, as reported by Bloomberg. In a parallel move, blockchain-based Polymarket is reportedly raising $200 million in a round led by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, according to The Information. For traders, key metrics show a competitive landscape: Polymarket currently leads in active trading volume with nearly $600 million compared to Kalshi's $113 million, based on data from Kalshi's API. Furthermore, a Dune dashboard indicates Polymarket has around 186,000 active traders. Polymarket's potential future token launch, previously reported by The Information, remains a significant point of interest for crypto investors evaluating the platform's ecosystem.

According to @nic__carter, the blockchain-based prediction market Polymarket is nearing a $200 million funding round at a $1 billion valuation, reportedly led by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund. While Polymarket's growth is significant, Coinbase analysts identify stablecoins as the 'quiet winners'. All platform trades settle in Circle's USDC on the Polygon network, creating substantial, high-velocity demand for the stablecoin. This dynamic is evidenced by Polymarket processing over $14 billion in lifetime volume and clearing $1 billion in May alone with 20,000 to 30,000 daily active traders, as noted in the Coinbase research report. The report also highlights that this activity creates corresponding spikes in USDC transfers and bridge activity, cementing the stablecoin's role in real-time market infrastructure. This momentum is expected to grow following a new content partnership with Elon Musk's X.

According to Aggr News, Polymarket has been announced as the official prediction market partner for X, a move that is expected to enhance liquidity and transparency in the crypto prediction markets (source: Aggr News on Twitter, June 6, 2025). This partnership could drive increased user engagement and trading volumes on Polymarket, as it leverages X’s vast user base and real-time data capabilities. Traders should monitor the integration’s effect on prediction market token prices and related DeFi protocols, as such collaborations have historically led to higher platform activity and wider adoption in the crypto ecosystem.

According to @AltcoinGordon, $HILO is set to launch its V5 prediction market this month, alongside new casino and P2P trading features, all of which signal significant trading opportunities. The project operates with a market cap under $4 million, employs regular supply burns each round, and has avoided VC funding, presale, or KOL airdrops, creating a unique low-float environment. These developments could drive price volatility and liquidity for crypto traders, making $HILO a notable altcoin for active trading in 2025 (Source: @AltcoinGordon, June 6, 2025).

According to dYdX Foundation, an on-chain vote has been initiated to decide whether the TRUMPWIN-USD prediction market should be added to the dYdX platform. The voting process is open to the community and will conclude on October 8, 2024, at 18:39 UTC. This decision could potentially impact trading strategies and market dynamics on dYdX.
