Catenaa, Monday, June 09, 2025-Elon Musk’s X has officially partnered with blockchain-based prediction platform Polymarket, marking the company’s most direct foray yet into the crypto ecosystem, the platform confirmed Friday.
While X has previously launched features like “X Money” for digital transfers, this marks its first official crypto-centric integration. Despite Musk’s affinity for Dogecoin, X had avoided full-scale crypto involvement until now.
The announcement was made by X’s official account, which called the alliance a move to “join forces” with Polymarket as its “official prediction market partner.”
Polymarket allows users to place cryptocurrency-based bets on real-world outcomes, such as political races or sports events.
As part of the partnership, Polymarket will integrate X’s real-time social content and Grok AI-generated insights to enhance its market annotations.
Musk has long promoted prediction markets as more accurate than polls, praising Polymarket during the 2024 US election season.
Polymarket saw a surge in platform activity leading up to the election, peaking at 450,000 users in January and launching over 7,000 new markets in April.
However, user activity has since declined, suggesting a more niche user base is now driving market creation.
The move could pave the way for X to evolve further into a financial and social ecosystem akin to China’s WeChat.
