Polymarket adds stock and commodity prediction markets

Polymarket has expanded into equities and commodities by launching price-based prediction contracts settled using Pyth Network data feeds.

The new markets allow users to trade on daily price movements of assets including US stocks, commodities like gold and oil, and major indices, with outcomes automatically resolved via oracle data.

The platform will use Pyth as the resolution source, replacing manual or exchange-based references with aggregated real-time pricing.

Contracts include up-or-down and closing price bets that reset each trading session, enabling continuous short-term trading opportunities.

The rollout includes major stocks such as Tesla, Nvidia and Apple, alongside commodities and broader market indices.

The expansion highlights the growing role of blockchain oracles in connecting crypto platforms with traditional financial markets.

The move follows increased institutional interest in Polymarket and reflects a broader trend of integrating real-world financial data into decentralised applications.
