Jupiter brings Polymarket to Solana in push to expand on-chain prediction markets

Jupiter has added Polymarket, the largest crypto prediction market, directly to its platform, bringing the service to Solana for the first time.

The new integration means users can now trade prediction markets directly within the Jupiter app, without needing to bridge stablecoins or switch platforms. Polymarket is accessible through a dedicated “Prediction” tab, letting users take part in event-based markets and decentralized trading all in one place.

In a post on X, Jupiter said the integration aims to make the app “the most innovative predictions platform on Solana,” combining Polymarket’s markets with a smooth, user-friendly experience.

Previously, trading on Polymarket required switching between multiple tools and platforms, which limited participation. By integrating it natively on Solana, Jupiter has removed that friction, making it easier for users to access contracts and trade directly on-chain.

This partnership also strengthens Solana’s position in consumer decentralized finance, while giving Polymarket deeper exposure to Jupiter’s growing user base. Jupiter had earlier introduced a Kalshi-powered beta product for sports and major events, and has expanded previously through integrations with MetaMask and World App. Analysts say keeping users inside Jupiter could generate significant new fee revenue.

The prediction market sector is booming, with trading fueled by political events, sports, and real-time speculation on economic and social trends. In January alone, $12 billion in trading volume was recorded, generating over $11 million in on-chain fees.

Polymarket, valued at $9–10 billion, has cemented its lead in the industry, thanks in part to partnerships with major media outlets like Yahoo Finance, Dow Jones, and The Wall Street Journal. Regulatory clarity has also improved; a 2024 U.S. CFTC proposal that would have restricted political and sports contracts was later withdrawn, easing uncertainty.

If adoption continues to grow, analysts estimate that annual trading volumes in crypto prediction markets could eventually exceed $500 billion.
