Polymarket Teams Up With Nasdaq Private Market to Bring Prediction Trading to Private Companies!

Polymarket, the largest onchain prediction market, is partnering with Nasdaq Private Market to launch markets tied to private-company events — the first time the prediction market sector has extended into private firms. Reuters first reported the deal.

The new markets will allow users to trade on outcomes including valuation changes, IPO timing, and secondary-market activity. Nasdaq Private Market will serve as the official data provider for market resolution, giving the platform a credible, institutional-grade source of truth for settling trades.

The partnership is a meaningful step for both sides: Polymarket gains access to a rich, underserved information market around pre-IPO companies, while Nasdaq Private Market adds a novel liquidity and price-discovery layer to an asset class that has historically been opaque to retail participants.
