Polymarket adds PYTH Pro feed
Polymarket integrated PYTH Pro to bring first‑party market and execution data from venues like Jane Street, Jump and Cboe into its platform, aiming to cut data latency and improve execution risk. The integration is billed as reducing reliance on long third‑party chains and tightening data SLAs for prediction‑market trading. (x.com)
Polymarket has plugged Pyth Pro into its platform to price a new batch of gold, silver and equity-linked contracts with live updates every second. (pyth.network) The integration was announced April 2, 2026, and Pyth said Polymarket is using the feed for daily up-or-down and daily close markets tied to gold, silver and major equity index exchange-traded funds. (pyth.network) Pyth Pro is a paid market-data service that sends prices through standard application programming interfaces from what Pyth calls first-party publishers, meaning firms that are directly making markets or trading the assets rather than reselling someone else’s feed. (docs.pyth.network) (pyth.network) Pyth said those publishers include firms and venues such as Jump Trading, Blue Ocean, LMAX and Jane Street, and a separate April 2 release said the broader network has more than 125 data publishers. (pyth.network) (markets.financialcontent.com) For Polymarket, the practical issue is settlement and trader confidence: the platform said it samples the Pyth feed every second and displays a live “price to beat” chart so users can see the reference price moving during the session. (pyth.network) That is a shift from prediction markets built mostly around elections, sports and crypto prices toward contracts tied to conventional financial assets such as commodities, stock indexes and single-name United States equities. (pyth.network) (polymarket.com) Pyth launched Pyth Pro on September 24, 2025, arguing that traditional market data is expensive and fragmented; the company said institutions spend more than $50 billion a year on market data and that prices have risen more than 50% in three years. (pyth.network) Polymarket is making the move after a regulatory reset in the United States. Reuters reported on September 3, 2025 that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved Polymarket’s return to the country, and Polymarket said on November 25, 2025 that it had received an amended order of designation for intermediated United States access. (usnews.com) (prnewswire.com) Pyth says its network has now secured more than $2.7 trillion in transaction volume across onchain and offchain use cases, and Polymarket’s product lead Mustafa Aljadery said “millions of dollars can hinge on a single price point.” (pyth.network)
