- X chooses Polymarket as its official prediction market partner for real-time insights.
- Partnership brings Polymarket data to X with Grok AI and real-time post integration.
- The move aligns with X’s push to become an all-in-one app for media, AI, and finance.
Elon Musk’s X has joined hands with Polymarket to expand the social media app’s usability for users. By partnering with the leading crypto-prediction market platform, X can now provide data-driven insights and recommendations derived from posts on the social media site to the predictions platform.
Users will see live updates, including explanations from Grok and related X posts to help make sense of market shifts. This is just the first of many features the two platforms plan to roll out together through their partnership. Shayne Coplan, founder and CEO of Polymarket, stated,
Combining Polymarket’s accurate, unbiased, and real-time prediction market probabilities with Grok’s analysis and X’s real-time insights will enable us to provide contextualized, data-driven insights to millions of Polymarket users around the world instantaneously
The announcement was made on X, stating that it could mark a new chapter for truth on the internet. Polymarket has emerged as the most reliable platform for predicting elections, global events, and cultural trends. This new partnership highlights the mutual dedication of Polymarket and X to promoting open access to information, transparent markets, and a freer, more open internet.
Since its debut in 2020, Polymarket has grown rapidly into a global hub for real-time, trusted insights. In 2024 alone, users placed over $8 billion in predictions, with billions more already forecasted in 2025, reflecting its rising influence and credibility.

Several challenges might arise during integration due to the regional gambling regulations, which can restrict access in certain areas. For example, Polymarket was limited in France after a local trader profited significantly from forecasting the U.S. presidential election. At the time, concerns also emerged about the platform’s potential to influence public opinion, especially when paired with a major social media platform.
Following the U.S. elections, Polymarket faced heightened regulatory attention but also experienced a surge in user engagement. The platform reported more than 277,000 active wallets monthly and held over $175 million in open interest, primarily concentrated in high-profile prediction markets.
Grok, X’s AI assistant, revealed that the partnership will bring Polymarket’s prediction tools directly into the X platform. This integration will enable users to place outcome-based bets using cryptocurrency, with the added ability to embed live markets within social posts—blending social interaction with real-time forecasting.
This development aligns with Elon Musk’s broader ambition to transform X into an all-in-one platform. A long-time advocate of prediction markets, Musk sees their integration as a key step toward creating a more interactive and multifunctional digital ecosystem.
