Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Stocktwits, the largest social platform for US stock investors with nearly 10 million users. This collaboration marks Polymarket's formal entry into the corporate earnings prediction market and represents a significant expansion into the US stock market arena.
The new earnings prediction products will be available to selected US users directly on the Stocktwits platform starting September 2025. This move comes just weeks after Polymarket's official return to the US market, following its acquisition of derivatives exchange QCEX and receiving approval from the CFTC on September 3.
Historically, Polymarket gained significant traction from political events, with the 2024 US presidential election generating approximately $3.7 billion in volume, including about $1.8 billion in bets on President Donald Trump's re-election. The platform has recently expanded to include prediction markets on various topics including potential TikTok sale, OpenAI social app launch, and possible US government shutdown.
The company's valuation, originally at $1 billion, is currently undergoing a funding round that could value the firm at up to $10 billion. Adding to the platform's prominence, Donald Trump Jr. recently joined as an advisor, with his partner's firm, 1789 Capital, making investments.
Howard Lindzon, CEO of Stocktwits, expressed enthusiasm for the venture, stating that Polymarket has "created a whole new way to understand news and expectations."
