💬 Shane Coplan, the founder and CEO of Polymarket, emphasized the "strict non-partisanship" of the decentralized prediction platform amid the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

"Given The New York Times' recent article on Polymarket, now is a good time to clarify: Polymarket is strictly non-partisan. We’re labeled as agents of the Democrats or MAGA, depending on the day. Unfortunately, the story is less juicy—we're just market geeks who believe that prediction markets provide the public with a much-needed alternative data source," he wrote.

The Polymarket CEO also described the platform as a "reality check" in an environment where algorithms feed audiences an endless stream of opinions based on what they already think, pushing them further into echo chambers.
