EVENT DOSSIER
The prediction market platform Polymarket recently announced that it has received approximately $300 million in new investment from 1789 Capital, a fund managed by Donald Trump Jr. The total amount of funding for this round is about $1 billion. Previously, 1789 Capital had invested $200 million and supported projects such as Enhanced Games. Currently, Polymarket is facing severe regulatory scrutiny: at least 20 states have filed lawsuits regarding sports betting; the federal government advocates for regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rather than state governments, while the Attorney General Alliance in 44 states opposes the CFTC’s jurisdiction. Members of the Trump family recently stated that the industry already has “strong regulation.” TechCrunch has contacted Polymarket for comments.
Polymarket 获 1789 资本 3 亿美圆注资
预测市场 Polymarket 从 Donald Trump Jr. 的投资基金 1789 Capital 获得约 3 亿美元投资，该轮融资总额约为 10 亿美元。此前 1789 Capital 已投入 2 亿美元，其还资助过 Enhanced Games 等项目。目前预测市场面临监管审查，至少 20 个州正就体育博彩诉讼，联邦政府主张由商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）而非州政府监管，44 个州检察长联盟则反对 CFTC 的管辖权。特朗普家族成员近期表示该行业已有“强有力的监管”。TechCrunch 已联系 Polymarket 寻求评论。
