Prediction markets have emerged as powerful forecasting tools, recently making headlines for their accuracy in predicting the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. Now, an exciting partnership between Polymarket and the popular "All-in" podcast aims to make these markets more accessible than ever before. The collaboration enables podcast listeners to participate directly in markets based on the hosts' predictions and discussions, effectively turning their insights into tradable probabilities.
The "All-in" Podcast features four tech industry veterans often referred to as The Besties: Chamath Palihapitiya (venture capitalist and former Facebook executive), Jason Calacanis (angel investor), David Sacks (entrepreneur, investor, and U.S. AI & Crypto Czar), and David Friedberg (founder of Ohalo). Since its launch in March 2020, the podcast has become influential in tech and business circles, with the hosts discussing startups, economics, politics, and technology trends. Each brings a distinct perspective and expertise, creating dynamic discussions that have attracted a dedicated following.
Founded in 2020, Polymarket is the world's leading global prediction market platform. It allows users to trade on the outcomes of events in various domains including politics, economics, sports, and entertainment, operating on the Polygon blockchain. Unlike traditional betting platforms, Polymarket operates as an information market where prices reflect probabilities of real-world events. With its focus on being "the world's information markets platform," Polymarket has established itself as a go-to destination for those seeking market-based forecasts.
The collaboration between "All-in" and Polymarket kicked off during their annual predictions episode titled "2025 Predictions with bestie Gavin Baker". During the episode, the besties announced their new partnership with Polymarket, which would allow listeners to trade on markets related to topics discussed on the show.
Each Bestie shared their 2025 predictions, Polymarket simultaneously launched corresponding prediction markets on their platform, which can be tracked on the All-In's page on Polymarket Analytics:
Trump Deportations (Jason): Whether there would be over/under 750,000 deportations in Trump's first year.
Mag 7 Representation on S&P 500 (Chamath): Whether it shrinks below 30%.
National Debt (Friedberg): Whether the federal debt will be above/below $38 trillion.
The "All-in" partnership with Polymarket represents an innovative crossover between media and prediction markets. By connecting influential tech personalities with a platform that quantifies forecasts, the collaboration makes prediction markets more accessible while adding a layer of market-based evaluation to podcast discussions.
This type of partnership points to a future where media content isn't just consumed passively but becomes the foundation for market-based information aggregation and forecasting, creating a more engaging and potentially rewarding experience for audiences.
