Polymarket Launches 15-Minute Crypto Markets Using Chainlink

October 21, 2025, Polymarket has launched 15-minute crypto prediction markets, introducing real-time, oracle-powered trading for digital assets. The feature, now live on Polygon mainnet, allows users to bet on short-term up or down movements of major cryptocurrencies, with results resolved within minutes. This advancement is powered by Chainlink decentralized oracle network, leveraging Data Streams and Automation to ensure rapid, verifiable outcomes. For Polymarket’s global user base, it eliminates manual resolutions and latency, transforming prediction markets into a high-frequency, trust-minimized product. The launch follows months of testing and reflects Polymarket’s evolution from a niche betting dApp into a global prediction infrastructure that processed billions in volume across elections, sports, and economic events.

How the Polymarket Chainlink Integration Works

Polymarket’s 15-minute markets use Chainlink’s high-frequency price feeds to determine crypto movements in sub-second intervals. When a market expires, Chainlink oracles automatically deliver final prices on-chain, triggering instant settlement.

This automation replaces legacy “social voting” resolution systems, ensuring accuracy even amid volatile price swings. Traders gain faster access to winnings, and liquidity providers benefit from a steady inflow of short-term speculation capital.

“Chainlink’s network brings deterministic truth to market data,” said co-founder Sergey Nazarov, calling the collaboration “a milestone for real-time economic forecasting.”
