Gate Integrates Polymarket as First Centralized Exchange to Launch Prediction Market Module

Gate announced on March 24, 2026, that it has integrated Polymarket and launched a dedicated “Polymarket” entry within its app, becoming the first centralized exchange to offer prediction market functionality directly on its platform.

The product has entered public beta, allowing users to participate in prediction trading across global events in sports, finance, and crypto through both exchange accounts and Web3 wallets. Users can purchase Yes/No shares based on anticipated outcomes and earn returns upon event settlement, with all trading settled in USDT via spot accounts without requiring on-chain operations.

The integration combines Polymarket’s event-based prediction infrastructure with Gate’s established user base of over 50 million users and full trading functionality, creating a dual-mode interface that serves both casual participants and professional traders.

Product Features and Access

Dual Access Methods

Gate supports two ways to access prediction markets:

Centralized exchange account: Users can log in directly to the Gate App (version 8.12.5 or above) and access the Polymarket module under the Alpha page. Participation uses USDT from spot accounts, eliminating on-chain transaction complexity

Web3 wallet: Users can connect external wallets to interact with Polymarket via the Polygon network, using USDC for trading and settlement, providing flexibility for users accustomed to decentralized environments

Dual Interaction Modes

The platform offers two distinct interfaces catering to different user experience levels:

Prediction mode: Features intuitive probability and odds displays, lowering the barrier to entry and helping users quickly grasp market expectations

Trading mode: Provides order books, price charts, candlestick charts, order book depth, and multiple order types including market and limit orders for experienced traders

Market Structure and Event Categories

Event Coverage

Polymarket’s event categories available through Gate include:

• Featured topics

• Sports events, including spread-based prediction markets allowing users to forecast outcomes across different score ranges

• Crypto markets

• Finance and macroeconomic events

Pricing and Probability Mechanics

Market prices reflect event probabilities in real time, with corresponding odds automatically calculated. For example, when a Yes share trades at 0.65, it indicates the market assigns approximately a 65% likelihood to that outcome. Users may choose to hold positions until settlement or actively trade in response to price movements.

Asset Management and Settlement

Unified Account Integration

Prediction market positions are integrated with Gate’s spot accounts, allowing users to:

• View USDT balances and positions within a unified interface

• Manage orders, holdings, and transaction history seamlessly

• Claim proceeds in a single action after event settlement, with winning positions automatically converted into stablecoins at a one-to-one ratio and credited back to spot accounts

Quick Trade Feature

To streamline execution, a quick trade feature allows users to place orders directly from the listing page without entering a separate trading interface.

Strategic Context

Industry-First Integration

Gate is the first centralized exchange to integrate Polymarket, bridging the gap between event-driven prediction markets and traditional exchange infrastructure. The move reflects growing user interest in prediction markets as a tool for engaging with global events across sports, macroeconomics, and the crypto industry.

Future Development

Gate plans to expand event categories and market structures, introduce more globally relevant topics and real-time data, and further enhance trading tools and liquidity.
