Polymarket Makes Power Move: Snaps Up QCEX for $112M in Landmark Crypto Deal

Prediction market giant Polymarket just placed a $112 million bet on its own future—and the payoff could reshape crypto trading.

The acquisition arms race heats up

While traditional finance plays musical chairs with mergers, crypto's big players are buying strategic chess pieces. QCEX's infrastructure becomes Polymarket's newest weapon in the prediction markets war.

What the deal really buys

Beyond the eye-popping price tag (enough to make a VC blush), this gives Polymarket instant scale—and keeps rivals scrambling to match their firepower. The market responded with typical crypto subtlety: 'number go up' psychology in full effect.

The cynical take

Another day, another nine-figure crypto deal where the 'synergies' sound suspiciously like monopoly-building. But hey—at least they didn't spend the $112 million on a JPEG this time.
