Polymarket launches 15-minute gold and silver markets with Chainlink

Polymarket has launched 15-minute gold and silver prediction markets through an expanded Chainlink partnership, taking its short-duration price bets beyond cryptocurrencies. Summary Gold and silver markets are live, with more commodities, equities, and foreign exchange planned. Chainlink reports over $11 billion in combined five- and 15-minute crypto-market trading volume. Market makers can access the same Chainlink Data Streams used to power the markets. Polymarket’s documentation separates Chainlink up/down settlement from its UMA-based prediction-market resolution process. Chainlink announced the expansion in an Oct. 29 release, naming itself Polymarket’s official oracle for high-speed up/down markets. The launch brings precious metals into a format already used for short crypto price predictions, while leaving further commodity products, equities and foreign exchange on the rollout list. In its subsequent Link post, Chainlink confirmed that gold and silver were live and described the next stages as more commodities, followed by equities and FX.
