Polymarket Partners With Elon Musk’s X as Official Prediction Market
Polymarket, a leading decentralized prediction market platform, has announced a new partnership with Elon Musk’s social media platform X, becoming its official prediction market partner.
While full details of the collaboration haven’t been released, the announcement has already made waves in the crypto market. The price of Polygon (MATIC)—the blockchain network Polymarket runs on—jumped sharply following the news.
As part of the partnership, Polymarket’s prediction tools and odds will soon be integrated directly into X posts and livestreams, allowing users to place bets on real-world events—such as U.S. elections, sports, and global news—without leaving the platform.
In a statement, Shayne Coplan, founder and CEO of Polymarket, said the partnership would bring powerful new tools to users by combining Polymarket’s real-time market data with X’s reach and Grok’s AI analysis.
“We’re proud to work with X as the official prediction market partner,” Coplan said. “This collaboration will provide millions of users with contextualized, data-driven insights instantly.”
The move signals a deeper integration of blockchain-based tools into mainstream social media and could open the door for broader adoption of decentralized prediction markets. Built on Polygon, an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution, Polymarket lets users bet on the outcome of real-world events using crypto.
The announcement marks one of the first major collaborations between X and a blockchain-based prediction platform, and investors appear optimistic about the potential for more innovation ahead.
