Founded in 2021, Brahma has processed more than $1 billion in transactions through its unified on-chain smart account system, which automates complex crypto operations and bridges traditional finance with DeFi payment rails.
As part of the acquisition, Brahma’s products will disappear within 30 days while retaining full access to the fund, and the team and technology will now focus on scaling Polymarket’s stack and ecosystem, according to a statement Wednesday.
The acquisition aims to improve the user experience by simplifying wallet setup, deposits and token redemptions and increasing liquidity for small bets. It follows Polymarket’s previous expansions through the acquisitions of Dome and Lunch.
Polymarket is building a full-stack prediction market platform by unifying crypto rails, liquidity tools, and real-time surveillance systems.
The company has partnered with Palantir Technologies and TWG AI to deploy an AI-powered surveillance and compliance system built on Vergence AI. The system provides real-time trade monitoring, anomaly detection, participant screening and automated reporting to ensure fairness and transparency.
Polymarket plans to integrate this infrastructure into its US-regulated trading platform under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, strengthening its position in the regulated market alongside competitors like Kalshi.
The two prediction market giants are in the early stages of fundraising talks that could yield a valuation of nearly $20 billion, doubling previous valuations, although outcomes are still uncertain due to increasing scrutiny.
