Latest moves by PolyMarket are to begin offering "attention markets" aka users can take a position - otherwise know as a bet - on new metrics of "mindshare" (how much something is being talked about in social media) and "sentiment" (is this talk positive or negative).

Examples: Will Anthropic’s mindshare be higher than OpenAI next month? or Will sentiment on Elon Musk go up this month?

These new offerings are being developed by PolyMarket working with VC backed Singapore based social media data aggregator Kaito AI. https://www.forbes.com/sites/aliciapark/2026/02/10/polymarket-to-offer-attention-markets-in-partnership-with-kaito-ai/ #AI #PolyMarket #KaitoAI #Betting #Gambling #MindShare #Sentiment #SocialMedia #Popularity #PublicOpinion #Trends #Brands #AttentionMarkets
