Polymarket Adds Bitcoin Deposits as NYSE Parent ICE Eyes $2 Billion Investment<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Polymarket, the crypto-native prediction market, has added support for bitcoin deposits, giving users a direct way to fund their accounts with BTC alongside other existing crypto options.<\/p>\n

The move coincides with bitcoin\u2019s recent rally to all-time highs above<\/a> $126,000, currently trading around $124,300, and reflects growing demand for crypto-native funding options on prediction platforms.<\/p>\n

Polymarket has taken the world by storm<\/a> over the past two years, emerging as the largest prediction market where users trade shares tied to the outcomes of real-world events \u2014 essentially betting on what the future holds.<\/p>\n

On Polymarket, traders are bullish about the bitcoin price. About 83% of participants now predict<\/a> bitcoin will hit $130,000 this year, while 52% and 35% are betting on $140,000 and $150,000, respectively. Total long-term betting volume has exceeded $30.6 million.<\/p>\n

Polymarket also accepts other crypto and stablecoins like USDC, USDT, Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana.<\/p>\n

Adding a layer of institutional intrigue, the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), owner of the New York Stock Exchange, is reportedly<\/a> considering a $2 billion investment in Polymarket. If completed, the deal could value the platform between $8 billion and $10 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Shayne Coplan, the 27-year-old founder of Polymarket, has become<\/a> the youngest self-made billionaire after this investment, per Bloomberg. <\/em>Just a few years ago, Coplan was a NYU dropout building Polymarket from his bathroom after becoming fascinated by the potential of prediction markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Polymarket has already attracted notable investors, including 1789 Capital, backed by Donald Trump Jr., and acquired derivatives exchange QCEX for $112 million, gaining a U.S. CFTC license in the process.<\/p>\n

Polymarket\u2019s expansion comes after navigating significant regulatory hurdles. In 2022, the CFTC fined<\/a> the platform $1.4 million for unregistered activities, and the Department of Justice conducted an investigation that was closed<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2020, Polymarket gained traction during the 2024 U.S. presidential elections and has since integrated Chainlink oracles for price-focused contracts, launched earnings markets with U.S. clearance, and competes with regulated rivals like Kalshi.<\/p>\n
