Peter Thiel’s venture capital firm Founders Fund co-led a $45 million Series B raise for Polymarket. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin also backed the Series B round. The predictions marketplace also announced it raised $25 million in a Series A round, led by General Catalyst and Polychain.

The latest cryptocurrency news related to venture capital funding is from predictions marketplace Polymarket. 

In an announcement on Tuesday, Polymarket revealed it had raised $45 million in its series B round and $25 million in a Series A round.

The total raise of $70 million had the backing of some of the leading venture capital firms in the market. This comes as data showed crypto VC funding crossed $1 billion in April, the second-straight month the space reached the landmark figure.

Meanwhile, General Catalyst, Polychain and Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia led the $25 million Series A funding round.

Polymarket’s successful fundraising across the two rounds comes as the predictions platform attracts more users amid the increased betting on the upcoming US presidential elections. Polymarket is also a hot marketplace for topics such as crypto, sports and current events.
