Solana-based decentralized exchange aggregator Jupiter has announced an integration with Polymarket, marking the first time the prediction markets platform becomes accessible natively on Solana. The move positions Jupiter to expand beyond token swaps and into event-based trading, as prediction markets gain traction across crypto and mainstream finance.

Jupiter disclosed the integration in a Sunday post on X, stating that a built-in “Prediction” feature has launched inside its app. The feature allows users to trade Polymarket contracts directly without leaving Jupiter or switching tools.

“Integrating Polymarket is primed for making Jupiter the most innovative predictions platform on Solana,” the exchange said.

The announcement confirms that Polymarket markets will sit alongside Jupiter’s existing on-chain trading infrastructure, placing prediction contracts within the same interface used for swaps and liquidity routing.

A native on-chain experience without platform switching

According to Jupiter, Polymarket markets now appear through a dedicated “Prediction” tab inside the app. Users can trade contracts directly on-chain without bridging stablecoins or navigating external platforms.

This approach removes several technical steps that previously limited participation in prediction markets, particularly for Solana-native users. Access to Polymarket traditionally required switching wallets, interfaces, or networks, which created friction even for experienced traders.

With the integration, Jupiter consolidates event-based markets and decentralized trading into a single environment. The exchange previously introduced a Kalshi-powered beta product in late 2025 that focused on sports and major events. The Polymarket partnership extends that effort and deepens Jupiter’s exposure to the prediction market sector.

Polymarket growth accelerates amid rising demand

Polymarket has emerged as one of the most active prediction platforms in crypto, with markets that span politics, macroeconomic data, sports, and culture. Activity surged over the past year as traders turned to event-driven markets tied to elections, economic releases, and global news cycles.

Data from Token Terminal shows that combined trading volumes across Polymarket and rival platform Kalshi reached tens of billions of dollars last year and remain on pace to set new records. In January 2026, Polymarket recorded $7.66 billion in volume, up from $5.31 billion in December. Kalshi’s volume rose to $9.16 billion from $6.58 billion over the same period.

The data highlights how prediction markets have shifted from a niche crypto use case into a high-volume trading category.

Mainstream distribution gains momentum

The Jupiter integration follows a broader push to bring prediction markets to wider audiences. In late January, Coinbase rolled out Kalshi-powered prediction markets to users in all 50 U.S. states. The launch marked a significant step for federally regulated event contracts in the United States.

Polymarket has also pursued mainstream exposure through partnerships. Last month, the platform signed an exclusive, multi-year sports licensing agreement with Major League Soccer, the largest professional soccer league in the U.S. The deal expanded Polymarket’s presence in regulated sports-related markets and increased brand visibility beyond crypto-native circles.

Earlier distribution efforts included integrations with MetaMask and World App. The collaboration with Jupiter adds another channel, with analysts pointing to potential fee growth if users remain within the Jupiter ecosystem.

Investment and infrastructure plans take shape

The Polymarket announcement coincided with a separate funding update from Jupiter. The exchange said it secured a $35 million strategic investment in JUP from ParaFi Capital to accelerate the development of on-chain financial infrastructure.

The investment will settle entirely in JupUSD, Jupiter’s dollar-pegged token, and closed at spot price. ParaFi is also committed to an extended token lockup as part of the agreement.

Jupiter’s pseudonymous co-founder, meow, said “Jupiter predict” will stand as a major focus over the next year. Planned work includes prediction market APIs and updated market discovery tools.

Jupiter already holds a sizable on-chain footprint. Data from DefiLlama shows total value locked at about $2.35 billion, with annualized fees near $650 million and annualized protocol revenue around $150 million.

Regulatory backdrop and sector outlook

The prediction market sector has drawn growing attention from regulators alongside investors. A proposal introduced in 2024 by the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission that aimed to restrict political and sports-based contracts was later withdrawn. The decision eased uncertainty for platforms operating in the space.

Roughly $12 billion in prediction market trading volume during January alone, with more than $11 million in on-chain fees generated. Polymarket’s estimated valuation ranges between $9 billion and $10 billion, supported by data partnerships with Yahoo Finance, Dow Jones, and The Wall Street Journal.

Neither Jupiter nor Polymarket shared a detailed rollout timeline or specifics on custody and compliance mechanics. Still, Jupiter’s messaging suggests prediction markets will sit alongside swaps and other on-chain products as a core pillar of its growth strategy.
