In accordance with DL News, Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral election validated Polymarket’s prediction market model, which had given him over 90% odds of winning despite a tight race in polls. NYSE’s Michael Blaugrund noted that Mamdani’s win vindicated the platform’s thesis as a reliable signal amid political noise. Intercontinental Exchange, NYSE’s parent company, had invested $2 billion in Polymarket last month, valuing it at $8 billion. Blaugrund also highlighted the potential of combining Polymarket data with Reddit analytics to predict market outcomes. However, Polymarket faces regulatory scrutiny in several jurisdictions, including France, Belgium, and Romania, and is under legal review in the U.S.
