According to The Information, citing informed sources, the prediction market platform Polymarket is in talks with investors for financing, aiming to raise $400 million at a valuation of approximately $15 billion (including new funds).

This financing will be added to the $600 million funding round that the Intercontinental Exchange (the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange) invested in last month, although the exchange did not disclose the valuation at that time. Polymarket is seeking to add more strategic investors beyond the Intercontinental Exchange.
