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.

An Independent Integrity Body Found 7 Betting Irregularities at the World Cup. FIFA Said There Were None. The Clash Centers on Polymarket.
The Group of Copenhagen — the Council of Europe's independent match manipulation watchdog — raised seven yellow notices for potential betting irregularities during the 2026 World Cup, in direct contradiction to FIFA's own Integrity Task Force, which published an all-clear on Tuesday. The most troubling finding involves Polymarket: the platform opened a market on July 2 asking whether Folarin Balogun would play against Belgium — the same day Balogun received a red card and three days before FIFA publicly confirmed his ban was suspended. No equivalent markets were opened for any of the other 14 red cards shown at the tournament.
After Yesterday's Hearing, Congress Looks Ready to Legislate on Prediction Markets — Not Just Watch
The House Agriculture Subcommittee held a two-hour hearing on July 22 examining sports event contracts, with witnesses from the American Gaming Association, tribal gaming, and both sides of the CFTC authority debate. Subcommittee Chair Dusty Johnson said Congress 'cannot afford to be silent' and signaled there is 'work for them to do.' Witnesses urged members to advance H.R. 7840, the Event Contract Enforcement Act, which would ban sports event contracts outright. The hearing adds a third front to a fight that is already being waged simultaneously in ten state courts and at the CFTC.
