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.

Missouri AG Sends Cease-and-Desist Letters to Six Prediction Market Operators
Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway issued cease-and-desist letters on September 18 to six prediction market operators — Kalshi, Polymarket, Robinhood, Crypto.com, Novig, and Underdog — alleging their sports event contracts constitute unlicensed sports wagering under Missouri law. The letters give platforms 30 days to comply or obtain licenses from the Missouri Gaming Commission. Missouri is the broadest multi-platform C&D action to date, targeting all major operators simultaneously. The action arrives one day after Montana and Kalshi filed a joint stipulation in which Montana agreed to pause enforcement while Ninth Circuit en banc review is pending.
Yahoo Finance Ends Polymarket Data Partnership After Five Months
Yahoo Finance and Polymarket mutually ended their prediction market data partnership on September 18, approximately five months after the companies announced an exclusive arrangement in November 2025. The Polymarket data hub that Yahoo Finance launched in January-February 2026 was quietly taken down in April 2026. No reason was publicly disclosed. Yahoo Finance retains an advertising relationship with Polymarket. The partnership's end is a setback for Polymarket's strategy of embedding its probability data into mainstream financial media platforms.
Montana and Kalshi Reach Joint Stipulation — State Pauses Enforcement Pending Ninth Circuit En Banc
Kalshi dismissed its lawsuit against the Montana Department of Justice on September 17 after both sides filed a joint stipulation in which Montana agreed to pause all enforcement, investigations, and cease-and-desist proceedings against Kalshi's event contracts. The pause lasts until the Ninth Circuit either denies en banc review of the August 28 ruling or issues an en banc decision. Montana must give Kalshi 30 days written notice before resuming any enforcement action after that window closes. The agreement mirrors the Robinhood-Michigan stipulation from September 4 and reinforces a pattern of states reaching negotiated compliance pauses while the appellate process plays out.
