Myriad Markets Raises $20M Series A and Integrates Trust Wallet
The publisher-embedded prediction market SDK closed a $20M Series A and added Trust Wallet integration, giving millions of mobile crypto users direct access to its markets.
Myriad Markets, the prediction market infrastructure provider focused on embedding event contracts into publisher and media experiences, announced a $20 million Series A in February 2026. The company launched in March 2025 and has since partnered with several crypto-native media outlets to bring prediction markets into editorial contexts, so readers can trade on news stories without leaving the publisher's site.
Alongside the funding, Myriad announced a Trust Wallet integration. Trust Wallet, one of the most widely used mobile crypto wallets globally with tens of millions of users, now allows direct access to Myriad markets. Users can browse and trade event contracts without installing separate software or navigating to a standalone platform.
The funding round also coincided with Myriad's shift to USD1 stablecoin settlement, switching from USDC to the Justin Sun-backed USD1 (launched January 2026) as its primary settlement currency. The company supports multiple chains and aims for the widest possible on-ramp regardless of which blockchain a user prefers.
The publisher-embedded model addresses a key friction in prediction market adoption: most users don't visit dedicated prediction market platforms. By meeting users where they already consume news, Myriad bets that engagement with event contracts can grow far beyond the current niche of active market traders.

Kalshi's Parlays Drive Back-to-Back $5B Days — and Hand Critics Their Strongest Argument
Kalshi traded a record $5.33 billion on November 7 and $5.36 billion on November 8, with multi-leg parlay-style 'combos' making up roughly 75% of both days' volume. Its 30-day volume topped $100 billion. But the parlay dominance cuts against the platform's legal defense: parlays are a quintessential sportsbook product, and the American Gaming Association has told the Second Circuit that parlays make up about two-thirds of Kalshi's volume and should be treated as sports bets. The implied house edge on 10-plus-leg combos is around 25%, undercutting the argument that these are neutral financial instruments rather than gambling.
Cruz Bill Would Require State or Tribal Approval for Sports Contracts — a Bipartisan Legislative Threat Emerges
Senator Ted Cruz, who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee, is preparing a bill that would bar federally regulated prediction markets from offering gambling-tied event contracts, including sports, unless a state or tribal government authorizes them. It would not ban the contracts nationwide but would require platforms to obtain approval jurisdiction by jurisdiction, resembling state-by-state sportsbook regulation. The proposal arrives as Democrats take control of both chambers after the midterms, creating a potential bipartisan reckoning: a Republican committee chair and a newly skeptical Democratic majority both eyeing restrictions on a sector that had relied on federal protection.
CFTC Tells Platforms to Stop Geofencing States — Directly Colliding With State Court Orders
The CFTC issued an interpretation on November 5 of its 'impartial access' core principle, telling regulated exchanges including Kalshi and Polymarket to drop state-by-state geographic blocks within 30 days or explain why they cannot. The demand collides head-on with existing state court orders that require the platforms to geofence: Washington ordered Kalshi to geofence in August, and Michigan ordered it to use licensed geolocation to block the state in September, with a $500,000 daily fine for violations. Chairman Michael Selig framed the interpretation as a uniformity requirement. The platforms are now caught between a federal demand to unblock states and state court orders to block them.
