Полимаркет объединяет усилия с Dow Jones для предоставления данных в The Wall Street Journal Translation: Polymarket partners with Dow Jones to provide data for The Wall Street Journal

The prediction platform Polymarket has entered into an exclusive agreement with the Dow Jones media group. This collaboration will feature data from both platforms in online publications and print editions of The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, and Investor’s Business Daily.

The partners are set to launch new features, including a corporate earnings calendar that will showcase anticipated financial results of publicly traded companies based on user wagers.

Previously, Polymarket became an exclusive partner of Yahoo Finance, while Google Finance began incorporating data from the platform into search results. Its main competitor, Kalshi, has partnered with CNN.

By 2025, Polymarket’s valuation reached $9 billion following investment rounds. The capitalization of rival platform Kalshi stands at approximately $11 billion.

Additionally, Polymarket announced the launch of real estate prediction markets, which will be implemented through integration with the Parcl protocol.

Polymarket came under scrutiny due to its refusal to label U.S. actions in Venezuela as an «invasion.» The volume of funds in the disputed contract exceeded $10.5 million.

Representatives from the platform explained their stance, stating that the special forces raid and the capture of Nicolás Maduro do not meet the criteria for an invasion. According to their rules, a military offensive aimed at controlling a country’s territory is required for payment. The capture or arrest of a state leader does not fall under this definition.

The situation was further complicated by contradictory outcomes in related markets. The contract for «U.S. Forces Presence in Venezuela» closed with a «Yes» result just hours after the operation. In this context, the invasion quotes sharply rose, but fell below 5 cents after arbitrators provided clarifications.

Users expressed their discontent in the comments section. One participant referred to the decision as “arbitrary,” highlighting the absurdity of a military operation and the kidnapping of a head of state not qualifying as an invasion.

The controversy was amplified by the success of an anonymous trader who made over $400,000 on the events in Venezuela. Concerns were raised due to the account being created on December 26, just days before the special operation took place.

The user made a series of accurate bets:

The incident caught the attention of authorities. Congressman Ritchie Torres proposed a bill that would prohibit insiders from trading on prediction markets.

It is worth noting that in October, the Polymarket team confirmed its plans to release the POLY token and conduct an airdrop.
