In March 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/prediction\/polymarket\/bet\/\">Polymarket<\/a> recorded a<strong>$10.57 billion<\/strong> monthly volume. Its direct competitor, <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/prediction\/kalshi\/bet\/\">Kalshi<\/a>, outperformed during the same period with <strong>$13 billion<\/strong>. Together, the two platforms account for <strong>over 80%<\/strong> of a sector that now exceeds <strong>$20 billion per month<\/strong>, according to TRM Labs. This is no longer niche crypto. It is a financial infrastructure being built right before our eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What sets this cycle apart from previous <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/\">crypto<\/a> booms is the nature of the players getting involved. ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, invested <strong>$600 million<\/strong> in Polymarket at the end of March, as part of a total commitment that could reach <strong>$2 billion<\/strong>. This type of backing radically changes the perception of the project: it is no longer just a speculative blockchain startup but an infrastructure that traditional finance players are looking to support and control. To understand why such decentralized protocols attract significant capital, our guide on understanding cryptocurrencies explains the mechanisms of DeFi and smart contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Information: Polymarket is in talks to raise $400M at about a $15B valuation including the new money, adding to the $600M already committed by ICE. The round could reach $1B as the prediction market looks to bring in more strategic investors. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1sbcs03FLr\">pic.twitter.com\/1sbcs03FLr<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Wall St Engine (@wallstengine) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wallstengine\/status\/2046165113405874237?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 20, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-billion-valuation-polymarket-goes-institutional\">$15 Billion Valuation: Polymarket Goes Institutional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The weekend news broke via The Information: Polymarket is in talks to raise an additional <strong>$400 million<\/strong>, which would bring its valuation to <strong>$15 billion<\/strong> and the total funding round to nearly <strong>$1 billion<\/strong>. This figure remains below Kalshi&#8217;s <strong>$22 billion<\/strong>, but it confirms that the battle for sector dominance is just beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fundraising is not just about cash flow. It serves a specific strategy. Polymarket has acquired QCEX, a CFTC-licensed exchange, for <strong>$112 million<\/strong>, officially opening the door to the regulated U.S. market. At the same time, it is preparing for a migration to a V2 version on <strong>April 28, 2026<\/strong>, introducing a native stablecoin (Polymarket USD) and supporting EIP-1271 to facilitate access to multi-signature wallets. The stated goal is to attract institutional funds and large treasuries. For traders looking to access such assets through reliable platforms, our comparison of crypto exchanges lists available options with an analysis of regulatory risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Polymarket is reportedly in talks to raise $400 million in a new funding round that would value the prediction market at $15 billion. The platform is seeing massive momentum following recent infrastructure upgrades and a reported $600 million investment from ICE. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YL2Mi95GCi\">pic.twitter.com\/YL2Mi95GCi<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Steffan (@Steffan0xd) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Steffan0xd\/status\/2046115475210351078?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 20, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bernstein-projects-240-billion-structural-revolution\">Bernstein Projects $240 Billion: Structural Revolution?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts at Bernstein estimate that prediction market volumes will reach <strong>$240 billion<\/strong> by 2026 and <strong>$1 trillion<\/strong> by 2030. These projections may seem staggering but deserve serious consideration when observing the surrounding signals: Nasdaq MRX has filed to launch binary contracts on the Nasdaq-100, Charles Schwab is exploring the topic, and Citadel Securities is closely monitoring this segment. Traditional finance no longer views these platforms as a curiosity. It is already seeking its entry point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two structural risks temper this optimism. First, U.S. regulation. Senators Schiff and Curtis have introduced the &#8220;Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act,&#8221; a bill aimed at classifying these contracts as gambling. If this legislation progresses, the impact on volumes could be severe in the short term. Second, there are insider trading concerns. Several cases have emerged in recent months, and both platforms are investing heavily in compliance tools to reassure Washington. To evaluate how to integrate this type of exposure into an overall strategy, our guide investing in crypto details approaches suited to different risk profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8PREDICTION MARKETS COULD HIT $1T BY 2030<br><br>Bernstein expects prediction market volumes to grow from $51B in 2025 to $1T by 2030, with revenues topping $10B.<br><br>Robinhood and Coinbase could emerge as key distribution platforms. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GqTbmxShqm\">pic.twitter.com\/GqTbmxShqm<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Coin Bureau (@coinbureau) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/coinbureau\/status\/2044560282387943685?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 15, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"polymarket-vs-kalshi-which-platform-will-prevail\">Polymarket vs. Kalshi: Which Platform Will Prevail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our assessment is as follows. The prediction market sector is real, the growth in volumes is real, and ICE&#8217;s entry fundamentally changes the nature of Polymarket. It is no longer a speculative crypto project \u2014 it is an infrastructure undergoing institutionalization, with the regulatory constraints that entails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What remains less clear is the trajectory of the potential native token. Rumors of an airdrop (TGE) are fueling speculative accumulation on Polymarket positions. This type of mechanism can artificially inflate activity and volumes ahead of a distribution, creating expectations that are difficult to meet. The parallel with other highly anticipated TGEs that disappointed post-distribution is real. Kalshi, with a <strong>$22 billion valuation<\/strong> and a regulatory head start in the U.S., currently holds a strong position in the domestic market. Polymarket retains an advantage in international and crypto-native markets. The war is not over; it is just beginning.
