Polymarket's annualized revenue surpasses $1 billion.
Prediction market platform Polymarket has disclosed its annualized revenue has crossed the $1 billion mark. The FIFA World Cup has continuously boosted trading volumes across platforms since its kickoff: Polymarket’s U.S. platform daily trading volume surged from around $50 million in mid-May to over $200 million on June 20; the international platform’s total weekly trading volume, after a decline in April and May, also hit an all-time high during the World Cup. Previously, Polymarket was banned from operating in the U.S. in 2022 over incomplete regulatory registration. Last July, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) closed their investigation into the firm without filing charges, and its U.S. platform now operates as a CFTC-regulated trading venue.

Goldman Sachs strategist advises investors to appropriately increase allocations to cloud service providers and reduce holdings in semiconductor stocks.
Goldman Sachs strategist Christian stated that amid AI-related trading segments, as chipmaker stocks continue to fluctuate, the investment appeal of large-cap tech stocks may further rise. Currently, the market is led by chip companies and beneficiaries of AI capital expenditure, rather than hyperscale cloud service providers. These chip stocks rank among the most volatile segments in the AI industrial chain, with massive funds building heavily leveraged positions in them via tools like ETFs and options. "If the upward momentum of the AI sector remains strong, investors should increase their allocation to cloud service providers and reduce holdings in semiconductor stocks. Semiconductors are the most volatile link in the AI capital expenditure chain."
