The deal brings Brahma’s team and technology inside Polymarket. The company says it will use them to expand its infrastructure and improve the platform for users.

Brahma was founded in 2021. It built tools for high-volume crypto and fintech transactions, including smart accounts, automated DeFi strategies, and a Visa card linked to DeFi positions.

The startup says it processed more than $1 billion in transaction volume and held over $100 million in total value locked before the acquisition.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan said the Brahma team has shown it can “design, operate, and scale complex products for sophisticated users.”

“Building reliable infrastructure across blockchain networks and traditional financial rails is hard — there are no shortcuts,” Coplan said.

Brahma said in a statement that its team will now focus on “evolving Polymarket’s stack and product suite.” The acquisition could also help reduce friction around wallet creation, deposits, and token redemptions on the platform.

Brahma Products to Shut Down

All three of Brahma’s main products will be wound down within 30 days of the acquisition. Those products are Strategy Vaults, Brahma Accounts, and Swype.fun.

Brahma has told users to migrate their funds and positions through its website and community channels before the shutdown is complete.

Polymarket’s Recent Acquisitions

This is the third acquisition Polymarket has made in a short period. In February, it bought Dome, a Y Combinator-backed startup that makes developer tools for prediction markets.

It also acquired Lunch, a boutique firm that helps tech startups build teams.

On March 10, Polymarket announced a partnership with Palantir Technologies and TWG AI to build an AI-powered sports integrity platform.

Earlier this month, reports emerged that Polymarket was in early discussions about a fundraising round that could value the company at around $20 billion. Those talks are said to be in early stages and may not lead to a finalized deal.

The prediction markets sector has grown fast, with companies including Coinbase and Robinhood entering the space. Polymarket faces competition as the sector expands.

The platform has also faced regulatory pushback in several countries, most recently in Argentina, over concerns about unregulated gambling markets and bets on conflicts.
