CoinTelegraph·—Trump Jr.-linked 1789 Capital leads Polymarket’s $1B raise: Report
Polymarket is gearing up for a significant $1 billion investment round led by 1789 Capital, the firm linked to Donald Trump Jr. They’re set to invest about $300 million, bringing their total stake in Polymarket to around $500 million. This move would value Polymarket at $21 billion, just shy of Kalshi’s $22 billion valuation. However, it’s worth noting that Polymarket is navigating a tricky regulatory landscape. JPMorgan recently cut ties over concerns, and several states are pursuing legal action against both Polymarket and Kalshi. So, while the funding is substantial, the regulatory backdrop could impact how this plays out.

CFTC Files Amicus Brief In Polymarket Event Contract Insider Trading Case
The CFTC has filed an amicus brief in a case involving alleged insider trading on Polymarket event contracts, which puts prediction markets back in the regulatory spotlight. The case revolves around a soldier accused of trading based on non-public information, and the CFTC's involvement could clarify how these event contracts fit within federal swaps law. It’s a significant moment for prediction markets, which blur the lines between betting, information, and derivatives. As these markets gain traction, regulators are starting to ask tough questions about market integrity and manipulation. The implications of this case extend beyond just Polymarket; it highlights that event contracts are becoming more mainstream and, therefore, more scrutinized. The CFTC’s position could shape how future cases are handled and how prediction markets are regulated. So, while this brief doesn’t mean a final ruling against Polymarket, it signals that these markets are under the watchful eye of regulators.

PFT alt·—Polymarket withdraws wager on Patrick Mahomes playing in Week 1
Polymarket has pulled a wager regarding Patrick Mahomes playing in Week 1 against the Broncos. This decision came after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, requested that prediction market operators remove such bets. Polymarket initially self-certified the wager but withdrew it the following day. Meanwhile, Kalshi is still offering the wager. The NFL has expressed concerns about prediction markets tied to player injuries, labeling the Mahomes wager as injury-related. NFL executive Jeff Miller hopes the CFTC will eventually establish guidelines that involve the league's input on the viability of these wagers before they’re posted. The integrity of these bets is at stake, as access to inside information can lead to unfair advantages for some bettors.

Dogecoin Price in 2026? 28% on Polymarket Bet on $0.06
Polymarket traders are currently betting on Dogecoin's price by the end of 2026, with a notable 28% chance assigned to it hitting $0.06. This suggests there's a decent level of optimism among participants, even though the odds can shift rapidly. Other price points like $0.16, $0.20, and $0.24 have probabilities of 19%, 14%, and 12%, respectively, indicating a cumulative 45% chance for Dogecoin to trade between those levels. As of now, Dogecoin is sitting at $0.0866, having pulled back from last week’s high of $0.10. Analyst Ali notes that it’s forming a bullish flag on the hourly chart, which could signal further upward movement. If it can close above $0.090, we might see a breakout toward $0.115, potentially offering about 30% upside. However, there’s a critical support level at $0.081, where significant trading volume occurred. If it holds above that, the path to $0.177 looks clear. On a side note, Dogecoin bulls faced some headwinds after CleanCore announced plans to liquidate its Dogecoin holdings as part of a $100 million funding strategy aimed at AI infrastructure. This could add some pressure in the short term. For listeners who want low-fee crypto exposure, our markets partner Kraken supports Dogecoin — link in show notes.
