Polymarket has launched a 15-minute cryptocurrency prediction market powered by Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network. The new line allows users to bet on short-term price movements for major cryptocurrencies.
Chainlink’s Oracle network provides verified real-time price data to determine betting outcomes. This feature allows users to bet on whether the price will rise or fall within a 15-minute time frame and is attractive to active users looking for quick engagement.
Polymarket integrates Chainlink oracles to power its new prediction market
Today, the online prediction company revealed that the 15-minute crypto market works like traditional prediction markets, but with a higher frequency.
Participants can bet on yes or no stocks that represent their predictions about short-term outcomes. The shares are priced between $0 and $1. For example, a yes stock price of €0.4 means that the market has 40% confidence that the asset will move up or down for the specified time.

The latest feature uses Chainlink’s decentralized oracles that collect price data from various verified sources to ensure transparency, security, and resistance to manipulation. The oracles ensure that final settlement prices are accurate, eliminating dependence on centralized intermediaries.
Polymarket will use USDC stablecoins to settle markets on the Polygon blockchain network, promoting fast transactions and lower fees. Polymarkets operates without a hold, meaning users can maintain control of their assets throughout the trading period.
The latest feature integration follows Polymarket’s growth in user participation. The company’s weekly volume soared, especially during the US election period. The company is now betting on the latest developments to attract private and professional traders who prefer faster market results.
The new market closely follows the short-term trading patterns used by the traditional financial world, minute-by-minute options and futures trading. The key difference in this case is Polymarkets’ design, which simplifies participation by eliminating the need for leveraged positions and investment accounts.
The online prediction company aims to make short-term speculations readily available to users while maintaining the decentralized and transparent features of a blockchain-based system.
Earlier this month, the company received support from institutions such as the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. ICE invested $2 billion in the platform to help integrate blockchain-based forecasting systems into the mainstream financial sector.
Cryptopolitan covered that ICE’s investment was expected to strengthen Polymarkets’ legitimacy and promote its relaunch in the US market, increasing its valuation to $9 billion. Polymarket aims to operate in this market under a trading strategy rather than a betting platform. ICE distributes Polymarket’s event-driven data and sentiment indicators through its broader financial analytics offering.
BTC, ETH and SOL will appear on Polymarket’s 15-minute prediction market
The new 15-minute markets can be accessed through Polymarkets user interfacewhich is optimized for desktop and mobile users. The company reiterated that privacy and anti-fraud protections are intact and all transactions take place on-chain. The platform implements sybil resistance and transparency measures that protect participants from manipulation and submission of false data.
So far, the online forecasting platform has not revealed which assets will be included in the short-term markets, but online speculation indicates that Bitcoin, Solana and Ethereum are expected to be included from the start. The decentralized nature of the platform enables global participation while maintaining immutable and publicly verifiable data.
Polymarkets currently uses the tokenless Polygon blockchain. The company mainly relies on viral topics to extract trend pairs and additional volumes from sports predictions. The company features a unique set of forecast categories that combine news and social media results.
The latest release follows a surge in Polymarket activity, with open interest reaching $172 million, the highest level in a year. The platform has also been expanded to support Bitcoin deposits and continues to run on the Polygon network without a native token.
Dune Analytics facts also shows that the company executed over 400,000 trades in October alone, including matched Negrisk and CTFExchange orders. With these developments, the company hopes that its ambitions to offer a token sale via airdrops or even an IPO in the US next year can be valid.
