Summary

- The company’s valuation could range from $3 billion to $10 billion
- Polymarket secured a green light to restart its U.S. operations after Donald Trump Jr. joined its board
Investor interest in blockchain platforms is rising, and crypto firms are seeking to capitalize on it. Global prediction platform Polymarket is preparing for another funding round that could send its valuation to $10 billion. According to a Business Insider report on Friday, Sept. 12, investor interest in the platform is high.
Insiders believe that the company could achieve a valuation of at least $3 billion and as much as $10 billion. In its last funding round, closed in the summer of 2025, the company was valued at $1 billion.
Polymarket prepares for U.S. debut
The news comes as Polymarket prepares for the relaunch of its U.S. operations for the first time since January 2022. At the time, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission charged the firm with offering off-exchange “event-based binary options” without registering.
However, under new management, the CFTC has rescinded its earlier decision. On Sept. 3, Polymarket’s founder, Shayne Coplan, revealed that they had received a green light to once again enable U.S. investors to trade.
The news came after Donald Trump Jr joined the company’s advisory board following an investment from 1789 Capital on Aug. 26. The connection to the U.S. president’s son could have given Polymarket the regulatory weight it needed in Washington.
“Polymarket is the largest prediction market in the world, and the U.S. needs access to this important platform,” said Donald Trump Jr. “Polymarket cuts through media spin and so-called ‘expert’ opinion by letting people bet on what they actually believe will happen in the world.”
