Truth Social enters prediction markets with Trump-linked economic bets

Truth Social is preparing to launch its own prediction market platform. The service will allow users to bet on economic data influenced by former US President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Polymarket is also set to restart trading in the US next month after a lengthy pause.

The move comes as prediction markets continue to navigate concerns over gambling risks and regulatory scrutiny. Truth Social announced its prediction market platform in October 2025. The service will feature markets tied to economic indicators that Trump could impact. This includes areas like trade policies, inflation figures, and employment rates.

Regulators have not updated their stance on prediction markets since the announcement. No new rules or delays have been reported as of October 29, 2025. Polymarket, another major platform, plans to relaunch US trading in November 2025 without any confirmed obstacles.

Prediction markets have long faced criticism over potential gambling issues. Operators have introduced safeguards, such as limits on bet sizes and identity checks, to address these concerns. Despite this, the industry remains under close watch by financial and gaming authorities. Truth Social's platform will enter a market where regulatory clarity is still evolving. Polymarket's upcoming relaunch suggests no immediate legal barriers for similar services. The success of these platforms may depend on how they balance innovation with compliance and user protection.
