Two Big News from Polymarket: Received $2 Billion Investment from Global Giant and Announced New Bitcoin (BTC) Feature!

Polymarket, the largest cryptocurrency prediction market, has made a move towards Bitcoin (BTC). Accordingly, Polymarket announced the launch of its Bitcoin deposit feature. Polymarket has introduced a Bitcoin deposit feature that greatly expands users' funding options. This feature expands the range of deposit assets supported by the platform and allows investors who directly own Bitcoin to participate in the market without converting their BTC into stablecoins. This development, which coincided with Bitcoin reaching an all-time high, was interpreted as Polymarket's strategy to reduce barriers to participation in the prediction market and increase liquidity. The platform currently supports multiple tokens across Ethereum (ETH), Polygon, Base, Arbitrum (ARB), and Solana (SOL). Founded in 2020, Polymarket is a cryptocurrency-based prediction market where users buy and sell stocks on future events. Polymarket, which has gained popularity thanks to global interest in the 2024 US presidential election, recently integrated Chainlink oracles for price-driven betting. $2 Billion Investment in Polymarket!
