Jupiter Adds Polymarket To Scale Solana Prediction Markets

DEX aggregator Jupiter forged a high-stakes alliance with Polymarket to embed decentralized event contracts directly into the Solana mobile ecosystem. This formidable partnership enables millions of active swappers to speculate on global outcomes without leaving their wallet.

The integration debuted on 1 February 2026 across the Jupiter decentralized exchange interface during a period of record prediction volume. This strategic timing follows Polymarket’s explosive growth, which saw its January turnover skyrocket to $7.66 billion.

Management initiated this specific expansion because users increasingly demand instant access to macroeconomic and political prediction markets within their native trading apps. By consolidating diverse liquidity, the protocol transforms from a simple aggregator into a hub.

Engineers achieved this synergy by building a dedicated "Prediction" module that interfaces directly with Polymarket’s underlying smart contract architecture. Users utilize existing Solana based assets to fund wagers, ensuring rapid execution and minimal friction for traders.

Hyperliquid Tests New Outcome Trading On Testnet

Hyperliquid announced the launch of a new outcome trading feature on its testnet this Monday morning. This expansion to the HIP-4 protocol update allows users to participate in prediction markets and limited risk options contracts. These fully collateralized outcome contracts settle in USDH and function without the usual risks of leverage or liquidation.

The move targets a booming sector where leading exchanges like Coinbase are also seeking to compete. Builders can now create novel applications using the high performance HyperCore engine to meet rising user demand. The Hyperliquid team intends to finalize the mainnet rollout following extensive community feedback during this current experimental phase.

Ripple Secures Full EU Payments License In Luxembourg

Ripple obtained a full Electronic Money Institution license from Luxembourg financial regulators during business hours on Monday. This final approval converts a preliminary authorization from January into a permanent gateway for the firm to operate across the European Union. The company can now centralize its regulated blockchain payment services for enterprise clients under the MiCA framework.

This specific milestone follows similar regulatory success in the United Kingdom where the firm recently secured local permits. Management noted that Europe remains a strategic priority for scaling their mission of providing compliant financial infrastructure. Ripple currently holds over 75 global licenses to support institutions transitioning from legacy systems to digital asset technology.

Vitalik Buterin Profited $70,000 From Polymarket Trading

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin revealed that he earned $70,000 during 2025 by betting against extreme market sentiment. He committed a total of $440,000 to the Polymarket platform to fade what he describes as irrational or crazy predictions. His specific strategy involves shorting improbable scenarios like the US dollar hitting zero or high profile Nobel Peace Prize wins.

Buterin suggested that this rational approach helps pull market prices back toward reality when emotional narratives distort the data. He also expressed concerns regarding the security of oracles which currently determine the final outcomes of these large onchain wagers. To improve reliability, the developer proposed moving toward centralized news feeds or robust token-based voting systems.

Data of the Day

Bitcoin dropped to a nine month low of $74,600 on Monday after recording $2.8 billion in total ETF outflows. This decline means the average US spot Bitcoin ETF purchase is now underwater compared to the institutional cost basis. Total assets under management for these products have fallen 31.5% since their peak during the final quarter of last year.

Analysts at Galaxy Research noted that despite the price rout, many institutional investors continue to hold their positions firmly. The market sell-off coincided with the stalling of the US CLARITY Act and mounting macroeconomic uncertainty across global markets. Technical indicators now suggest that a sustained recovery in demand is required to prevent a prolonged bear market phase.
