Polymarket Raising $200 Million At Unicorn Valuation, Led By Thiel's Funders Fund
It's been a good year for Polymarket. After first notching record traffic last month, the blockchain-based prediction market then signed a deal earlier this month with Elon Musk's xAI company, becoming the official prediction market partner for xAI and X. And now Polymarket is on the edge of raising $200 million in new capital at a $1 billion valuation, according to The Information.
Peter Thiel's Founders Fund is said to be leading the round, according to the report. The $200 million figure includes $50 million that was raised in previously unannounced funding.
Shayne Coplan, CEO, Polymarket, speaks at Consensus 2024.
In May, Polymarket reached a record high in terms of website traffic in May with 15.9 million visits, more than rival betting markets FanDuel, DraftKings and Betfair, and roughly 10x more than direct competitor Kalshi.
