Crypto VC Investment Fuels Prediction Market Boom

Venture capital investment is driving the growth of prediction markets, with Polymarket and Kalshi receiving substantial funding. These firms are attracting attention from institutional investors, signaling a major shift in how these markets integrate with traditional finance. This trend has been observed as early as 2025 in both U.S. and global markets. Regulatory approvals for Polymarket, including CFTC clearance after acquiring QCEX, are crucial for advancing prediction market integration into mainstream finance.
