Polymarket has partnered with Chainalysis to monitor trading activity in real time as it seeks to crack down on insider trading and improve market integrity.
The collaboration introduces investigative and onchain monitoring tools designed to flag suspicious behaviour and share evidence with regulators, as scrutiny of crypto prediction markets intensifies.
“Polymarket was built onchain because transparency matters, and our platform shows what markets can look like when trades are open, traceable, and accountable by design,”
Said Polymarket CEO, Shayne Coplan.
The move reflects Polymarket’s effort to reposition itself from a crypto betting platform into a more credible financial venue with oversight standards closer to traditional exchanges.
“Prediction markets are a very useful thermometer of the world,”
Coplan said, describing how prices reflect the probability of real-world outcomes as the platform expands its reach.
Critics have argued that prediction markets remain vulnerable to insiders using non-public information, particularly as platforms gain traction during major events such as elections and attract institutional interest.
By leveraging blockchain transparency alongside Chainalysis tools, Polymarket aims to detect and deter manipulation in real time, though its long-term credibility will depend on consistent enforcement and user trust.
