Grayscale Research believes that Polymarket has the potential to become a "source of truth" by leveraging the transparency and record-keeping capabilities of blockchain technology, market incentives, and the collective wisdom of its users, in the face of growing distrust in the media. Decision-makers often need access to timely and accurate information, but according to a recent poll, trust in the media in the United States is at its lowest point in 50 years. With an increasing number of cases of misinformation, nearly three-quarters of American adults believe news media contributes to political polarization, and almost half are not confident in the media’s ability to report news fairly and accurately. Grayscale Research also believes that prediction markets could be part of the solution – especially those leveraging the power of blockchain technology.
