ICE Invests $2 Billion in Prediction Market Polymarket

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the global technology and data provider behind the New York Stock Exchange, has committed up to $2 billion in a strategic investment in Polymarket. The deal values the prediction market platform at approximately $8 billion pre-investment.

As part of the agreement, ICE will distribute Polymarket's event-driven data globally, offering clients sentiment indicators on market-relevant topics. The partnership also includes collaboration on future tokenization projects.

"This investment bridges ICE's 230-year legacy with Polymarket's disruptive innovation in decentralized finance," said ICE Chair and CEO Jeffrey Sprecher. Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan called the deal "a pivotal moment for prediction markets entering mainstream finance."
