Polymarket - Footnote 9

Note: The claim that Polymarket outperformed traditional polling is not directly supported by the source. The source mentions Polymarket's notoriety during the 2020 election cycle and integration of its real-time odds into mainstream financial data outlets like Bloomberg, but it does not explicitly state that Polymarket outperformed traditional polling. The claim that a single bettor wagered approximately $45 million against mainstream polls is not supported by the source. The strategic investment from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) occurred in October 2025, valuing the company at $8 billion pre-money, implying a post-money valuation as high as $10 billion if the full $2B is invested. The claim states the valuation at $8-9 billion.
