Polymarket acquires Brahma to add smart-account execution and reshape its prediction‑market platform

Polymarket has acquired DeFi startup Brahma and will fold Brahma’s smart‑account execution layer into its prediction‑market platform, a move the company says supports an AI‑driven, on‑chain future as it eyes a roughly $20 billion valuation. The deal is intended to strengthen Polymarket’s underlying DeFi technology, improving wallet management, trading efficiency and enabling advanced trading features such as limit orders through smart‑account technology. Industry coverage framed the acquisition as a step to enhance DeFi scalability and overall user experience on the platform ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

Observers noted the acquisition aligns with Polymarket’s goals to deepen on‑chain infrastructure, expand liquidity in specialized prediction‑market segments, and pursue strategic growth with attention to regulatory and market considerations ^{[4] [2] [1]}.
