Polymarket 正在推进新一轮融资,目标估值超过 200 亿美元。纽约证券交易所母公司洲际交易所(ICE)表示,如果其参与有助于这轮融资完成,公司会评估是否追加投资。

估值较去年明显抬升

ICE 首席执行官 Jeff Sprecher 在接受彭博电视采访时作出上述表态。若本轮融资按目标完成,Polymarket 的估值将较 2025 年 10 月明显上升。彼时,ICE 首次宣布与 Polymarket 建立投资关系,市场给出的估值约为 80 亿美元。

ICE 此前已对该平台投入较大资金。公开信息显示,ICE 最初同意投资最多 20 亿美元,并在今年 3 月追加了 6 亿美元。

ICE看重数据与市场基础设施

ICE 表示,这一合作不只是财务投资,还包括数据和市场基础设施层面的协作。Sprecher 说,ICE 并不打算转向广泛的科技投资,而是希望借助 Polymarket 在预测市场的数据和经验,补充其传统交易所业务。

按这一表述,ICE 对 Polymarket 的兴趣更偏向战略协同。对以交易、清算和市场数据为核心的传统交易所集团来说,预测市场带来的数据流、交易信号和机构分发能力,都是可直接利用的资源。

预测市场吸引更多华尔街资金

Polymarket 融资之际,预测市场正吸引更多机构资本进入。其竞争对手 Kalshi 据报最新估值已达 220 亿美元,显示这一赛道的融资热度仍在上升。

这类平台通常允许用户围绕选举、体育赛事、经济数据和地缘事件交易相关合约。随着规模扩大,监管归属之争也在升温,焦点在于这类产品应纳入美国联邦衍生品监管,还是按州层面的博彩法律处理。

Robinhood 首席执行官 Vlad Tenev 也对这一问题表态称,预测市场应继续由美国商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)监管,而不是交由各州分别管理。

ICE对永续合约态度谨慎

相比预测市场,ICE 对加密行业常见的永续合约兴趣较低。Sprecher 表示,这类产品并不符合 ICE 主要客户群的需求,因为其核心客户仍以使用传统期货进行对冲为主。

这也解释了 ICE 为何更倾向于加深与 Polymarket 的合作,而不是把重点放在永续合约平台上。对 ICE 而言,预测市场更接近其现有业务延伸方向。
