Polymarket appears briefly in Google News before disappearing
Polymarket betting markets reportedly appeared in Google News results with established news publishers before disappearing.
A Google spokesperson told The Verge that it was a mistake for the platform to appear in the news. “This site was mistakenly displayed in Google News for a short period of time, and will no longer appear in News,” said spokesperson Ned Adrians.
Prior to its removal, Polymarket links appeared directly under the original broadcasts when users searched for event-based queries. In one example cited by Futurism, a search for “ships cross the river” related to the Strait of Hormuz returned the result of a ship passage alongside reports from Reuters and The Guardian.
In a Sunday search by Cointelegraph, the same query did not turn up Polymarket results.

Polymarket and Kalshi follow media partnerships
Last year, Google partnered with Polymarket and rival Kalshi to integrate their data into Google Finance.
In June, Elon Musk X also announced a partnership with Polymarket, naming it as its official prediction market partner. The deal aims to integrate the betting-based prediction service with the social media platform.
Also in October, MetaMask said it would be part of a push to expand Polymarket beyond crypto wallets into a broader “democratized finance” gateway. That same month, it added the World app, a digital wallet and ID platform from Sam Altman's World project, as well as the Polymarket app.

Small polymarket traders make profits.
As Cointelegraph reports, according to new information shared by crypto analyst Andrey Sergeenkov, only a few of the polymarket traders are able to generate consistently high monthly income. In one month, 1% of traders exceeded $5,000 in profit, only 0.015% were able to maintain that level for four consecutive months.
The findings show that 0.033% of wallets exceed $100,000 in total profits, some of which may be professional traders rather than retail users. Although there is growing hype around prediction markets as a rapidly increasing use of crypto, data suggests that most participants struggle to maintain consistent profitability over time.
