Polymarket Partners With Chainalysis Amid $15 Billion Valuation Push

Prediction market platform Polymarket is strengthening its compliance framework by partnering with Chainalysis to monitor insider trading and market manipulation, as it seeks a $15 billion valuation and regulatory approval in the United States.

Insider Trading Monitoring and Compliance Expansion

The agreement enables Chainalysis to provide advanced investigative tools that track suspicious onchain activity and generate blockchain-backed evidence. These tools are designed to support both proactive monitoring and cooperation with law enforcement and regulatory agencies.

The company stated that the move sends a clear message that insider trading, fraud, and manipulation will not be tolerated on its platform.

CFTC Approval and US Market Reentry Plans

As part of its expansion strategy, Polymarket is aiming to raise $400 million while securing approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to relaunch in the US. The platform previously settled with regulators in 2022 over unregistered trading activity but later reentered the market through its acquisition of QCEX.

Growing Competition and Market Transparency

Rival platforms like Kalshi are also addressing similar concerns as trading volumes surge across prediction markets. Internal data suggests a small group of informed traders—just over 3% of accounts—capture a significant share of profits, highlighting ongoing debates around fairness and transparency in these markets.
