This event is worthy of being written into crypto history.

On January 8, 2026, Dow Jones and its subsidiary, The Wall Street Journal, announced that Polymarket would become their exclusive prediction market partner. This marks the first deep integration between mainstream finance and Web3 in the realm of 'information pricing'.

It signifies that prediction markets have truly broken through the barriers of niche circles.

Not just a traffic collaboration or conceptual endorsement, but rather, real-world major events are now being priced through on-chain, real-money participation. Consensus is no longer determined by authority, but by capital voting.

This demonstrates to the world that Web3 is not merely creating asset bubbles.

With sufficiently mature mechanisms, it can also provide the real world with a more transparent, immediate, and unforgiving tool for pricing the future.
