Overview

• ICE confirmed an investment of up to $2 billion in Polymarket and a partnership on future tokenization initiatives.
• The agreement makes ICE a global distributor of Polymarket’s event-driven data for customers across its network.
• Reported valuations place Polymarket near $8 billion pre-investment, while the company cites a $9 billion post-money figure.
• The move bolsters Polymarket’s U.S. reentry strategy following a 2022 CFTC settlement, the acquisition of CFTC-registered QCX, and the closure of federal probes with subsequent staff no‑action relief.
• ICE shares rose in early trading after reports of the deal as leaders framed the partnership as integrating prediction markets into mainstream finance.
