PolyGun Acquires Polymarket Analytics

PolyGun, the world’s leading copy trading platform for prediction markets, has acquired Polymarket Analytics, the number one data and intelligence platform in the global prediction market space. PolyGun has earned its reputation as the most powerful and intuitive copy trading tool in the space, enabling users to automatically mirror the trades of the best-performing Polymarket wallets in real time. Polymarket Analytics, meanwhile, has built the most comprehensive prediction market intelligence platform on the internet.

This deal marks a watershed moment for an industry that has rapidly matured into a multi-billion dollar arena.

The Scale of Polymarket Analytics

Polymarket Analytics is the pulse of the entire prediction market ecosystem. The platform currently tracks:

• Over 2,300,000 traders monitored across Polymarket and Kalshi

• 183,871+ active markets tracked in real time

• 119,782,679+ individual positions indexed

• Over 250,000 active users on the platform

• As one of the only platforms in the world that provides deep analytical coverage of both Polymarket and Kalshi, Polymarket Analytics gives users a true 360-degree view of the prediction market landscape.

The platform has uncovered remarkable patterns in prediction market behavior: traders with documented 96% win rates on mention markets, anonymous accounts winning hundreds of thousands during NBA playoffs, and distinct trader archetypes, from speed traders reacting to breaking news, to liquidity providers, to disciplined “bonders” compounding on high-probability markets. This depth of intelligence was a central factor in PolyGun’s strategic decision to acquire the company.

“PolyGun was built on a single belief: that every trader deserves to win. We have obsessed over giving our users the tools they need to make smarter, faster, and more profitable decisions. Acquiring Polymarket Analytics is the next evolution of that mission. When you combine the best trading execution platform with the best data platform in the world, you don’t just improve the product, you change what’s possible,” said Larry, CMO & CFO at PolyGun.

What the Integration Means for Users

PolyGun plans to deeply integrate the Polymarket Analytics data pipeline directly into the PolyGun platform, giving users access to the fastest and most reliable market and trader intelligence available anywhere. This means PolyGun users will be able to make copy trading decisions backed by institutional-grade data, seeing not just who is winning, but understanding why, across every market and every platform.

Education has always been at the core of PolyGun’s DNA. The platform’s core philosophy is: “We win when our users win”. PolyGun invests in helping every user understand the markets they are trading in, the traders they are copying, and the edge they need to succeed consistently. The acquisition of Polymarket Analytics accelerates the mission to enable user access to position history, trader performance breakdowns, market sentiment data, win rates, and much more, all surfaced natively inside the PolyGun experience.

Polymarket Official Builders Program Partnership

Both PolyGun and Polymarket Analytics are official partners of the Polymarket Builders Program, an initiative designed to support the most innovative builders in the prediction market ecosystem. The Polymarket Builders Program has been instrumental in fostering a community of mission-driven teams who are committed to growing the prediction market space responsibly and ambitiously. This acquisition is in many ways a direct result of the world-class environment that Polymarket has cultivated in the program that empowers builders to dream bigger, move faster, and create products that genuinely serve the community.

As Vainglorious steps back from the CEO role, he leaves with the same mindset that built Polymarket Analytics from the ground up — find a north star, stay consistent, and ship.

“The hardest part wasn’t the code — it was finding a north star, staying consistent, and actually shipping,” said Vainglorious, CEO of Polymarket Analytics.

Underdog, the fastest-growing private sports company in the U.S., announced the purchase of Aristotle Exchange DCM Inc. and Aristotle Exchange DCO Inc., which are a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) registered Designated Contract Market (DCM) and a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO), respectively. The acquisition enables Underdog to offer its own federally-compliant prediction market exchange, giving customers even more ways to express their opinions on sports and beyond. Underdog was the first sports gaming operator to offer access to sports prediction markets in its app last September.

“We look forward to working with the CFTC to offer an exchange that brings even more options to enjoy sports to our customers. We’re in the early innings of what prediction markets can be, especially for sports fans. We’ll use this opportunity to bring the same relentless focus on innovation and experience that we’ve always brought to our customers. The reality is, prediction markets are primarily about sports and no company knows how to engage with sports fans and create products for sports fans better than Underdog,” said Jeremy Levine, CEO and Co-Founder of Underdog.

Underdog’s exchange will allow customers to access sports event contracts and more. Underdog currently offers access to prediction markets as an intermediary to other exchanges, and the company will continue to expand its prediction offerings under its own exchange.

Aristotle’s financial advisor is Lazard and its legal advisor is Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP.
