Trump Jr. Joins Polymarket as Platform Strengthens U.S. Presence and Secures Funding

Polymarket, the prediction-making platform, is expanding its foothold in U.S. politics and finance with a high-profile advisory appointment and fresh capital infusion. Donald TRUMP Jr., son of the former U.S. president, has joined the platform's advisory board, lending political clout to the growing prediction market.

Venture capital firm 1789 Capital has invested double-digit millions in Polymarket, signaling institutional confidence in the platform's ability to disrupt traditional forecasting methods. The undisclosed funding round underscores Polymarket's rapid growth as it carves a niche in event-based trading.

"Polymarket cuts through media spin and so-called 'expert' opinion," Trump Jr. noted in his advisory role declaration. He positioned the platform as the world's largest prediction market, emphasizing its unique capacity to surface genuine public sentiment about political outcomes and other high-stakes events.
