If completed, the deal could also aid Polymarket’s ambitions as it re-establishes a presence in the US following the CFTC approval.
Despite regulatory troubles in the US, the platform has continued to thrive offshore, attracting a mix of retail traders and high-net-worth users seeking exposure to political, financial, and cultural event outcomes.
Meanwhile, the prospective ICE-Polymarket deal comes only months after reports indicated Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund led a $200 million investment, valuing the company around $1 billion.
Notably, ICE’s potential deal would multiply this figure several times over. The investment is expected to be finalized as soon as Tuesday, October 7. It marks a bold move by ICE, which boasts a market capitalization above $91 billion.
