1. "How to Keep Up with So Many Prediction Markets?"
With Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, announcing its plan to invest around $2 billion in prediction market platform Polymarket at a valuation of about $9 billion on October 7, just three days later, another prediction market giant, Kalshi, also announced a $300 million funding round, valuing the company at $5 billion. Meanwhile, Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan, who had previously retweeted or liked posts about the platform potentially launching a token, this time listed a series of mainstream crypto asset symbols followed by $POLY ticker on social media, which can be seen as a "hint" at issuing a token. This series of news triggered FOMO sentiment among community members. With the news spreading, the prediction market track once again became a hot topic of discussion.
2. "Black Swan Operator? Who Is the Mysterious Whale Garrett Jin?"
The discussion about the Black Swan flash crash event on October 11 is still ongoing, and the community continues to question the identity of the whale who accurately shorted over $1.1 billion before the event. On-chain detective analysis suggests that the address in question may belong to former BitForex CEO Garrett Jin. At noon today, Garrett Jin posted three consecutive updates on his personal X account to respond to market rumors for the first time, clarifying that he has no connection to the Trump family or "Little Trump" and emphasizing that his previous actions were not insider trading. He also stated that the funds used were not personal but belonged to his clients.
