Blockchain.com has partnered with Polymarket to integrate prediction markets directly into its platform, the companies announced on July 15. The move brings on-chain betting on real-world events to one of the largest crypto wallet providers, giving users a new way to interact with decentralized applications without leaving the app.
The partnership
The deal was announced via Chainwire on Wednesday. Blockchain.com will embed Polymarket's prediction interfaces, allowing users to browse and place bets on outcomes ranging from election results to sports events. The integration relies on smart contract rules to manage user access and settlement, meaning all transactions are executed on-chain.
Expanding Web3 utility
For Blockchain.com, the addition is a bet on making Web3 tools more accessible. The company already offers a wallet, exchange, and NFT features. Adding prediction markets gives users another reason to stay inside the ecosystem rather than hopping to a separate dApp. Polymarket, meanwhile, gains a distribution channel to millions of existing wallet holders.
Smart contract integration
User client access will be governed by smart contract integration rules, the announcement said. That likely means users will need to connect their wallet and approve transactions through the same interface they already use for trading. The technical details were not fully disclosed, but the approach keeps the experience self-custodial.
The integration is expected to roll out in the coming weeks. Neither company has specified a launch date or which markets will be available first. For now, the announcement signals that prediction markets are moving beyond niche platforms and into mainstream crypto infrastructure.
