Polymarket Partners With Kaito AI for Crypto Mindshare Markets

Polymarket has partnered with AI analytics platform Kaito to introduce a new type of prediction market focused on attention and online influence. The move signals a growing shift in crypto, where traders increasingly track narratives and social momentum alongside traditional assets. 

The partnership will enable traders to speculate on the popularity and public opinion of trends, brands, and public figures using AI-driven social media data. As prediction markets expand, artificial intelligence is becoming a core tool for forecasting digital trends. 

A New Era of “Attention Markets”

At the center of the partnership are what Kaito calls “verifiable mindshare markets.” These markets let users trade based on AI-derived sentiment, popularity, and social chatter. Kaito measures how much people discuss a topic, known as mindshare. It also tracks whether the discussion is positive or negative, referred to as sentiment.

To do this, the platform pulls data from major networks including X, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. This information will enable Polymarket to turn cultural relevance into a tradable signal, opening a new category within prediction markets. Both companies have tested the concept, and pilot mindshare markets showed strong early trading demand.

Looking ahead, Polymarket’s head of crypto, Thibault, said the company plans to roll out dozens of attention markets starting in early March and thousands by year-end.

“It’ll be a completely new experience when people can scroll through social media and realize they can express their views on what they are seeing and take a side with it on these markets,” he added.

Polymarket Drives Mindshare Trading

The partnership seeks to strengthen the crypto market by making social sentiment and attention tradable on-chain. Traders can now use real-time data to anticipate trends, giving them an edge in volatile markets. By linking mindshare to tokenized markets, Polymarket adds a new layer of liquidity and transparency, attracting both retail and institutional investors.

Additionally, the launch comes as prediction markets gain traction and attract heavier trading volumes. Polymarket alone processed more than $1 billion in trading volume in January, highlighting rising demand for alternative forecasting tools.

More broadly, the partnership reflects a growing belief that information itself can function as a financial asset. By transforming attention into measurable data, market participants will make informed decisions by interpreting public opinion. Still, education remains a challenge. Executives say users must understand how mindshare and sentiment work before these markets can reach full liquidity.
