Polymarket announced an exclusive partnership with Substack to integrate real-time predictive market data directly into Substack posts and newsletters.
Polymarket expands into independent media with Substack integration
Polymarket is a blockchain-based prediction market platform where users trade the probabilities of future events, from elections to economic indicators, with prices reflecting crowd-rated probabilities.
Under the new agreement, Substack creators will be able to embed live Polymarket markets, including dynamic probability tables, directly within the editor without leaving the drafting interface.
With this integration, articles can now display odds updated in real-time, effectively turning static comments into evolving artificial intelligence (AI) milestones, and macroeconomic forecasts can now feature embedded markets that change as traders adjust their positions.
Substack is also rolling out native tools that allow creators to share, analyze and discuss predictive data, according to documentation available from its Help Center. The companies say the aim is to give independent journalists and analysts more immediate access to crowdsourced predictive signals, making reporting more interactive and transparent.
Additionally, Polymarket sponsors a cohort of Substack creators who embrace new tools and expand their media footprint beyond trading. The company already has a newsletter, “The Oracle by Polymarket,” which was launched over a year ago and highlights notable market movements and emerging trends.
This partnership reflects the broader convergence between financial forecasting tools and independent publishing platforms. As reader demand for quantifiable signals alongside opinion and reporting increases, live market probabilities may provide an additional layer of context, but it remains to be seen how viewers will interpret and rely on these signals.
Early reactions on Reddit and other forums suggest curiosity about how the integration will shape Substack’s community. For now, prediction markets are moving from niche trading terminals to inboxes one embed at a time.
