X Partners with Polymarket to Offer Real-Time Prediction Insights
Social media platform X has entered into a partnership with Polymarket, the blockchain-based prediction market, to deliver real-time insights by combining market probabilities with live data. The new product aims to give users contextualized information about unfolding events, though legal access remains restricted in the United States.
Partnership Focuses on Real-Time Market Data
Polymarket and X have announced a strategic partnership under which Polymarket will act as the official Prediction Market Partner to X. While the financial terms were not disclosed, both companies confirmed they are launching a new integrated product that merges Polymarket’s forecasting data with X’s platform content and AI-generated commentary. The goal is to improve how users track and understand the latest developments in news and current events.
As part of the collaboration, the companies are rolling out a tool that integrates Polymarket’s price signals with annotations powered by Grok, X’s AI model, and relevant user posts from the platform. According to the announcement, this is the first in a planned series of joint projects between the two companies.
Shayne Coplan, founder and CEO of Polymarket, said:
“Combining Polymarket’s accurate, unbiased, and real-time prediction market probabilities with Grok’s analysis and X’s real-time insights will enable us to provide contextualized, data-driven insights to millions of Polymarket users around the world instantaneously. We look forward to enhancing X and Polymarket users’ ability to make instant sense of breaking news and make informed decisions about the future as we continue to scale our platform.”
X Sees Prediction Markets as Information Layer
X’s CEO Linda Yaccarino described the partnership as a way to bring more transparency to online discourse.
“Polymarket ensures transparency through its prediction markets, and has grown into a staple source of real-time information for many X users. We are pleased to partner with Polymarket and look forward to bringing our data and technology to Polymarket users through a range of creative product integrations.”
The integration is designed to provide a more comprehensive picture of public sentiment and expectations around key topics such as elections, geopolitics, and global trends.
A Growing Platform with Legal Limitations
Since launching in 2020, Polymarket has seen rapid adoption. The platform processed over $8 billion worth of predictions in 2024 alone and has continued that trajectory into 2025. Its growing user base increasingly turns to the platform for insight into political, financial, and cultural developments.
Despite its global popularity, Polymarket remains inaccessible to users in the United States due to regulatory restrictions. The platform is not legally available in the U.S., and American users are currently barred from participating in prediction markets hosted on Polymarket.
