Summary
$1.5 million in pre-seed SAFE funding will help Polysights expand AI tools that flag insider trading, wallet clustering and other suspicious activity across prediction markets.
Polymarket-backed Polysights is still in beta and says traders, researchers and institutions need a dedicated intelligence layer as prediction markets become a bigger source of real-time signals.
YZi Labs, Maven11, Varys Capital, Contribution Capital and Edge Ventures backed the round; Polymarket, Predict.fun and Underdog Fantasy support the platform, while Kalshi did not participate.
Bernstein expects prediction-market trading volume to reach $1 trillion by 2030, putting more focus on market surveillance as Polymarket faces scrutiny over a Wall Street Journal report on misleading promotional videos.
