GeckoPulse: Kalshi & Polymarket Odds Now Integrated on Google Search

Hey Google, What are the Odds?

Soon, you will be able to easily find the latest probabilities and movements of various prediction markets, directly from Google.

The Google team recently stated in a new blog post that prediction market information from platforms such Kalshi and Polymarket will be implemented directly into its search results.

Through the AI-powered version of Google Finance, users will be able to ask questions about future events, and their likelihood of occurring, as well as any historical changes.

However, these features will be gradually deployed in the coming weeks, starting with users of Google Labs users.

It remains to be seen whether Google will integrate other prediction markets or support native trading anytime soon.

According to Dune Analytics, prediction markets reached a new all-time high of over $3.1B in weekly trading volume, with over $2.3B wagered on Kalshi and Polymarket.

Ripple Makes Waves through Mastercard

Ripple will partner with Mastercard, Gemini and WebBank to allow its RLUSD stablecoins to be used for credit card payments.

The settlement for these RLUSD-based credit card transactions will take place on Ripple’s XRPL blockchain, while leveraging Mastercard’s payments network.

On the other hand, WebBank will function as the issuer for the Gemini Card, which has previously launched an XRP credit card.

According to Ripple’s press release, initial tests to onboard RLUSD on the XRPL blockchain will be conducted in the coming months.

Additionally, RLUSD-based settlement transactions will be slowly implemented into Mastercard and WebBank’s existing processes.

RLUSD recently crossed over $1B in market cap on Monday, as daily trading volume for the stablecoin rose from $140M on Nov 3 to $255M today.
