As we approach the first quarter of 2025, Polymarket has seen a significant rise in betting odds for the airdrops of Berachain and Linea, signaling growing excitement among the crypto community. The platform, built on the Polygon network, allows users to wager on whether specific projects will launch their airdrops in the designated timeframe. By participating in these predictions, users can choose to bet on either a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ outcome, with the betting volume and outcome predictions constantly evolving based on user sentiment. This market-driven model has made Polymarket a go-to for many crypto enthusiasts, especially after it gained attention for its accurate predictions during the U.S. presidential election.

Berachain, a fast-growing Layer-1 blockchain, is gaining significant traction in the crypto industry. Recently, it raised $69 million in a funding round led by Brevan Howard Digital and Framework Ventures, pushing its valuation beyond $1 billion. The project aims to offer a robust ecosystem for DeFi applications, with products like the BEX decentralized exchange and BEND, a lending protocol comparable to Aave. With over 500 million transactions processed and a surge in active addresses—from 945,000 to 3 million in just a month—Berachain’s chances of launching an airdrop in Q1 2025 are looking strong. Polymarket users are currently betting on the likelihood of this event, with the odds of a successful airdrop sitting at 90%, a 40% increase from earlier projections.

Meanwhile, Linea, a Layer-2 network that uses zero-knowledge proofs to enhance Ethereum’s scalability, is also gaining momentum ahead of its potential airdrop. Positioned as a serious competitor to other Layer-2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism, Linea’s network has processed over 240 million transactions, with a $383 million total value locked (TVL). The network's popularity is further buoyed by its backing from ConsenSys, a leading crypto firm that raised $450 million from investors such as Softbank and ParaFi. According to Polymarket, the odds of Linea releasing its airdrop in Q1 2025 are at 88%, reflecting a 38% increase since the market's inception.

While rising odds indicate growing optimism about these projects' airdrops, it's important to note that the increased betting activity does not guarantee that these events will occur on schedule. Instead, it reflects the collective sentiment of the betting community, suggesting that early signals from Berachain and Linea are pointing toward a possible launch. As with any speculative market, the success of these airdrops remains uncertain, but the increasing odds highlight the excitement and potential these projects hold within the broader crypto landscape.

Three years after the NFT craze peaked with billions of dollars in monthly trading volume and the Bored Ape Yacht Club appearing on (The Tonight Show), collectible tokens are all the rage again, and so is the popular NFT marketplace OpenSea.
NFT trading volume recently hit a three-month high, and speculation about a potential OpenSea token is heating up after market competitor Magic Eden completed its own ME airdrop.
The market may or may not have poked fun at this, recently asking X (formerly Twitter) followers “How long have you been using OpenSea?” Many traders saw this as a playful gesture of user loyalty, which is often a key metric for platforms determining token airdrop allocations.

🚨 Jeff Park, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, stated that the likelihood of creating a Bitcoin reserve in the US by 2025 is a mere 10%! 😱 This statement has shaken the crypto community 🌍, with many immediately discussing why America, claiming global leadership 🌎, is still not ready to embrace Bitcoin as a strategic asset 💎.

📢 Many followers supported the expert’s opinion, claiming that obtaining Congressional approval for such a reserve is almost impossible ❌. Furthermore, the new administration seems to not even consider Bitcoin as a priority, preferring to "save the old financial system" 💵🛠️.

💬 “America doesn’t need Bitcoin,” said one user, “MicroStrategy is already fulfilling this role with its massive reserves!” 🏢💰 But can a private company really replace government reserves? 🤔

🔮 Meanwhile, the analytics platform Polymarket estimates the likelihood of creating a Bitcoin reserve under President Trump in the first 100 days of his new term at 31%! 📈 This prediction seems much more optimistic, raising the question: could Bitcoin become a weapon in the battle for economic dominance? ⚔️

❓ What do you think? Will the US turn into a crypto-nation 🇺🇸🚀 or will Bitcoin stay outside of politics? Share your thoughts!

Polymarket, a crypto-based prediction market, is likely to be prohibited by France’s gambling regulator, the ANJ, after a huge amount of bets were placed on the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Since the global audience engaged in prediction platforms, Polymarket experienced a record jump, with $450 million expected to be distributed to users following the victory of Donald Trump.
This increase of betting volume and large stakes has become a matter of concern for the French regulator because the platform offers unlicensed gambling services.$450 Million in Payouts Expected After U.S. Election Bets
Prediction markets, which are expected to increase their payout to election bettors to around $450m following Donald Trump’s projected win, are attracting increasing attention.
Although conventional polls pointed to a closer contest, prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi recorded a steep rise in Trump’s chances in the last few days, indicating a strong divergence with poll-based expectations.
Among the active users of Polymarket, a French trader called “Theo” made a $26 million bet on Trump’s win and won $49 million. This big bet made Polymarket popular, as the French authorities paid attention to the platform and its popularity among French residents, which led to concerns about the compliance of the platform with French gambling legislation.
France’s ANJ Considers Blocking Access to PolymarketThe ANJ has claimed that Polymarket is involved in gambling which is only allowed in France by licensed operators. According to local media, the regulator has the power to ban access to unlicensed gambling sites and is expected to restrict access to Polymarket soon.
An ANJ insider said: “Polymarket is just betting on something that is completely uncertain, which is exactly what gambling is.”
If put in place, the ban would prevent the usage of the application in France, despite the fact that users can still try to avoid the restriction by connecting to VPN. The ANJ could also try to influence media outlets and directories to stop advertising or linking to Polymarket and, thus, limit its audiences even more.
Regulatory Concerns Over Market ManipulationThe high level of activity on Polymarket has led to speculations that the platform may be used for market manipulation. Two blockchain analysis firms, Chaos Labs and Inca Digital, recently revealed that there was potential wash trading within Polymarket’s U.S. presidential betting market where the same assets are bought and sold to simply create a fake market. This type of trading is rather manipulative and can lead to the distortion of signals on the market and mislead other participants.
The US Commodity ""Futures Trading Commission also has concerns about prediction markets and put forward a rule in May aiming at stricter regulation of such markets due to the potential for manipulation.
Although no final (decision) has been reached, regulatory actions could impact Polymarket’s ability to operate- freely in other markets, including the U.S.
