Bitget Wallet, a leading non-custodial Web3 wallet with over 90 million users globally, has announced a strategic partnership and integration with Polymarket, the world's largest prediction market platform. The collaboration aims to embed real-world event trading directly into the wallet's decentralized interface, significantly expanding access to information-driven markets.
The integration is designed to minimize user friction. It enables seamless funding via Apple Pay and other digital payment methods and utilizes gas abstraction to remove transaction fees for top-ups across major EVM chains and Solana. This creates a mobile-first, on-the-go trading experience where users can search markets and execute trades without leaving their self-custodial wallet environment.
Beyond access, Bitget Wallet is enhancing the experience with AI-powered tools. The wallet will introduce AI-driven sports event analysis, synthesizing real-time data, historical performance, and news signals into practical insights. Additionally, a "smart money" locating module will surface on-chain activity from high-performing addresses, providing leaderboards and real-time alerts on significant trading moves.
Leaders from both companies emphasized the strategic importance of distribution as prediction markets mature. "As prediction markets evolve into core financial infrastructure, distribution becomes as important as the underlying market itself," said Matthew Modabber, Chief Marketing Officer of Polymarket. Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet, added that the integration makes "AI-powered prediction market trading more accessible with a seamless mobile-first experience and smarter tools."
The partnership includes plans for joint initiatives around major global sports events in 2026 and beyond, such as the NBA Playoffs and the FIFA World Cup, where trading volumes typically surge. This move comes amid a period of rapid growth for the prediction market sector. Analysts at Bernstein estimate the industry's trading volume could grow from around $51 billion in 2025 to $1 trillion by 2030, with Bitget citing an estimated 400% growth between 2024 and 2026.
Polymarket's pursuit of a $400 million funding round at a $15 billion valuation underscores strong investor confidence, while the integration reflects a broader industry trend of convergence between wallets, exchanges, and trading platforms into unified interfaces to drive user adoption.
