Donald Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm, 1789 Capital, has invested a “double-digit millions” sum in the blockchain-based prediction market platform Polymarket, with Trump Jr. also joining its advisory board.

Trump Jr.’s 1789 Capital Leads Funding Charge for Prediction Market Polymarket

The investment, first reported by Axios on Aug. 26, provides fresh capital for Polymarket as it positions for a potential return to the U.S. market. The platform, where users bet on real-world events using the stablecoin USDC, has processed billions in wagers but has been unavailable to U.S. users due to regulatory restrictions.

Polymarket’s path to operating stateside recently improved. The company acquired a CFTC-licensed derivatives exchange and saw the Department of Justice and CFTC close previous investigations into its operations.

Trump Jr., a partner at 1789 Capital, will provide strategic guidance. His involvement follows a separate advisory role at the U.S.-based rival prediction market Kalshi, though that did not involve an investment.

The deal aligns with 1789 Capital’s focus on investments promoting “American exceptionalism,” including crypto infrastructure. The firm views Polymarket as a strong future initial public offering candidate.

This investment points to the growing mainstream appeal of crypto prediction platforms and aligns with the Trump family’s publicly pro-crypto stance, potentially signaling a significant expansion for Polymarket.

Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome

The post Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD gains marginally to near 1.3760 ahead of monetary policy announcements by the Fed and the BoC. Both the Fed and the BoC are expected to lower interest rates. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern. The USD/CAD pair ticks up to near 1.3760 during the late European session on Wednesday. The Loonie pair gains marginally ahead of monetary policy outcomes by the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) during New York trading hours. Both the BoC and the Fed are expected to cut interest rates amid mounting labor market conditions in their respective economies. Inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy have cooled down, emerging as another reason behind the BoC’s dovish expectations. However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year. According to analysts from Barclays, the Fed’s latest median projections for interest rates are likely to call for three interest rate cuts by 2025. Ahead of the Fed’s monetary policy, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, holds onto Tuesday’s losses near 96.60. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern, which indicates a bearish reversal. The neckline of the above-mentioned chart pattern is plotted near 1.3715. The near-term trend of the pair remains bearish as it stays below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around 1.3800. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) slides to near 40.00. A fresh bearish momentum would emerge if the RSI falls below that level. Going forward, the asset could slide towards the round level of…
