Polymarket acquires Brahma to upgrade prediction market execution and settlement

Polymarket announced it has acquired DeFi infrastructure firm Brahma, bringing Brahma’s real-time execution and settlement technology (and team) into its prediction market stack. Polymarket said the deal is designed to scale infrastructure and expand its product suite as competition in prediction markets intensifies. Terms were not disclosed. Brahma reported handling $1B+ in transaction volume and $100M+ in TVL. Operationally, Brahma will wind down its existing products within 30 days, including “Brahma Accounts,” “Agents,” and “Swype.fun,” and users must migrate funds and positions via Brahma’s website and community channels. For traders, this is primarily a Polymarket technology and execution infrastructure upgrade rather than a direct token or price catalyst. If Polymarket can deliver smoother order execution, faster settlement, and better capacity during peak demand, it could improve liquidity and trade quality over time. Earlier reporting also suggested Polymarket was discussing fundraising that could potentially double its 2025 valuation, but those talks were described as early.
