Poly Market: The Prediction Platform Transforming How We Foresee the Future
Nearly a year ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, an innovative online prediction market called Poly Market quietly gained momentum. In this digital arena, users could wager against each other on who would win the presidency, with a staggering $3.6 billion betted on the outcome. While most pollsters painted a picture of a tight race, Poly Market's crowd-sourced approach predicted Donald Trump's eventual victory — a testament to the platform's underlying premise: collective intelligence can be more accurate than traditional polling.
