Prediction market platform Polymarket is accelerating the development of new trading categories after obtaining a compliant status this year. The most noteworthy development is its integration with real estate prediction markets — the real estate trading channel is scheduled to launch on January 5th next year, with prediction contracts based on city housing price indices set to be officially introduced soon.

Interestingly, investors' foresight has never been wrong. On August 26th this year, 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm involved with members of the Trump family, completed a strategic investment of tens of millions of dollars in Polymarket, and a member joined Polymarket's advisory board.

The timing is too coincidental. Platform compliance completed (2025) → Real estate sector launched (January 2026) → The explosive potential of prediction markets is unleashed. Although this is just the launch of a sector, the intersection of prediction markets and real estate happens to address a problem that traditional finance has long struggled to solve efficiently.

So in 2026, if you haven't yet paid attention to the prediction market track, you might really regret it. From policy guidance to capital deployment, the logical chain is already very clear. The opportunity is right in front of us — it all depends on who can seize it.

The Trump family investments are definitely worth keeping an eye on. The information revealed by the 1789 Capital entry point is too significant. Is Polymarket really about to take off? Or is it another scam to fleece investors? Real estate prediction contracts sound good, but who can truly understand how to play them? Having just obtained a compliant identity, it's immediately time to enter a new battlefield. The pace is rapid. It depends on how much real money is transacted in January; data is the hard indicator. Traditional finance is indeed a blank spot, but the risks are also considerable. Can early entrants really make money in the end? Or are they just taking over for later investors? Let's wait and see how this game unfolds.

Damn, the Trump family has all placed their bets. This pace is truly incredible. Real estate + prediction markets, the dead corners of traditional finance have been exposed. Next January, keep a close eye on this wave. Polymarket is playing this hand aggressively; compliance is just the beginning. The real main course is still to come. People who got in early this morning are laughing to death. Waiting until 2026 would be really too late. Such a perfect timing can't be a coincidence; capital has already calculated everything. Anyone familiar with prediction markets knows that the real estate sector will explode once it launches. Wait, does this mean real estate prices can be directly traded? That's pretty intense. This move could really rewrite the game rules. The key is that once it's compliant, it's a whole different ballgame. This time, it's the real deal.

Well, the Trump family has all placed their bets, I knew this thing would definitely have some potential. The real estate forecast is indeed a gap, traditional finance simply can't handle it. Really, the timeline is too tight, it feels like it will take off next year. Wait, did Polymarket really get regulatory approval? Did the US relax regulations? I think prediction markets are the next hot track to be hyped up, missing out would be really regretful. I'm a bit worried that the risks of this kind of thing might be underestimated. Anyway, I'll just observe for now. Housing price prediction contracts... how many people want to participate? The market space is beyond imagination. How perfectly this wave of momentum is coordinated, it feels like someone is playing chess behind the scenes. Honestly, I haven't studied this much, but seeing all kinds of capital pouring in, it can't all be a coincidence.
