Intercontinental Exchange has signaled it may put more money into Polymarket’s next funding round after building a $1.64 billion stake in the prediction market platform.

Bloomberg reported Thursday that ICE Chief Executive Officer Jeff Sprecher said the New York Stock Exchange parent would consider participating if its involvement could help Polymarket complete the round.

“We’ll look at it, if it would help the round in order to have our imprimatur on it, we are always interested,” Sprecher told Bloomberg Television.

Polymarket is seeking fresh capital at a valuation above $20 billion, according to Bloomberg, more than twice the valuation attached to the company in October. The report said the platform has continued to draw investor interest as prediction markets expand across sports, politics, geopolitics and other event based contracts.

ICE has already participated in two Polymarket funding rounds, with Bloomberg putting the exchange operator’s stake at $1.64 billion by March. Sprecher said the relationship was designed partly to allow the companies to exchange information and expertise, instead of turning ICE into a regular investor in technology startups.

As crypto.news reported in March, ICE invested another $600 million in Polymarket as part of a previously announced commitment of up to $2 billion. ICE said at the time that the investment was not expected to have a material effect on its financial results or capital return plans.

“The reality is we’re not a venture firm,” Sprecher said Thursday, describing the Polymarket investment as a relationship built around the “transfer of information and expertise.”

The distinction is important to ICE’s approach, according to Sprecher, because the company operates some of the world’s largest financial exchanges and clearing businesses and does not plan to build a portfolio of venture investment

August is already shaping up as a record-setting month for dormant bitcoin spends. It opened with the Coldcard incident, where nearly 2,000 $BTC were stolen from hardware wallets running faulty firmware. The latest wave of sleeping bitcoin, however, is not associated with the stolen funds but likely instead reflects old-school holders quietly moving coins to safer destinations. The blockchain exposes every movement, but never reveals the motive behind it.

2014 Bitcoin Wallets Suddenly Roar Back to Life

As bitcoin prices climbed over the last 24 hours, btcparser.com data shows 28 long-dormant wallets suddenly stirred between Aug. 19 and 20 after years of silence. The wallets shifted a total of 1,314.41 $BTC worth $94.03 million to fresh addresses, with a staggering 92.4% of the bitcoin coming from addresses first created in 2014. Even more striking, 21 of the 28 spends moved in neat 50 $BTC chunks from 2014 wallets created in November or December of that year.

The owner moved the coins out of legacy P2PKH (Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash) wallets and consolidated them into newer P2WPKH (Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash) addresses. Several transfers landed in the same blocks, including block height 963203, suggesting the movements were coordinated rather than random. The destination addresses carry no flags from explorers such as Arkham Intelligence and, at least for now, show no obvious signs of heading toward an exchange.

Privacy Setbacks in Coordinated 50 $BTC Shuffle

Blockchair.com’s privacy tool rated several of the 21 consolidated 50 $BTC transfers “low,” scoring them just 22 out of 100 across roughly four privacy issues, including repeated appearances of the same address among the inputs. But this likely single 2014 whale was hardly alone, as other wallets from the 2014 cohort also suddenly woke up after more than a decade in the shadows.

Bitcoin ETFs draw $517M in largest one-day inflow since early May
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $517.2 million in net inflows on Wednesday, their largest single-day investment since May 4, pushing August net inflows to $1.47 billion.

The funds have taken in about $1 billion since Monday, already their strongest weekly net inflow since the week ended Jan. 16, when they attracted about $1.42 billion.

The inflows came as crypto prices rallied on Wednesday, alongside a US Treasury decision to expand buybacks of longer-dated government debt and renewed attention on crypto regulation after President Donald Trump urged Congress to advance the CLARITY Act at a White House event.

“The Treasury signalling it’ll step in at the long end pushed yields and the dollar lower, and gold and silver outperformed equities on the day, so the market priced this as a currency event rather than a growth one,” Jonatan Randin, senior market analyst at PrimeXBT, told Cointelegraph.

“Bitcoin moved with gold and silver rather than with risk appetite, which is what the debasement trade looks like when it’s working,” he said.

Bitcoin traded near $72,000 at the time of writing on Thursday, up 11% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. Ether rose 19% to $2,286.

Spot Ether ETFs logged $189.2 million in net inflows on Wednesday, bringing this week’s inflows to about $291.5 million.

Trump Urges Senate to Pass Crypto’s CLARITY Act, Teases More Bitcoin Buys

After gathering with digital asset executives, Trump urged lawmakers to get the crypto market structure bill over the line.
U.S. President Donald Trump urged lawmakers to pass the Clarity Act on Wednesday — and also hinted that the government may accumulate more bitcoin. 

After gathering with crypto executives at the White House, President Trump said that getting the Clarity Act over the line would keep the U.S. ahead of China. 

Lawmakers were hoping to get a vote on the crypto market structure bill, or Clarity Act, in August. A vote will now go ahead in September. The bill will establish a framework for distinguishing between digital assets that are securities, commodities or payment stablecoins. 

“We’re ensuring that America remains the undisputed leader in not only Bitcoin and crypto, but also technologies like prediction markets, artificial intelligence and much more,” President Trump said. 

He added: “Now we need Congress to take the next step by passing the Clarity Act — a fair version of the Clarity Act — and this landmark structure legislation. It’s a very, very powerful structured legislation which will keep us ahead of China, and keep us ahead of everyone else.”

When asked if the U.S. government would be accumulating bitcoin, President Trump said: “It’s been talked about — it’s taken a lot of pressure off the dollar, it’s been very, very good for the dollar, and I think if [regulators] came in with recommendations, I would certainly listen.”

President Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve last year. The order states that the U.S. cannot sell any of the bitcoin it has, most of which has been seized in law enforcement operations. But the EO does not commit to buying the asset.

Data centers have hit peak levels of unpopularity, and Republicans have started to feel the metaphoric heat akin to the literal heat complaints that local residents have raised since the AI boom took off.

According to a National Republican Senatorial Committee memo that Axios reports to have seen, the committee warned AI companies that the facilities that power their billion-dollar startups could punch a hole in Sen. Jon Husted’s case to return to office in November.

The memo contained a stark warning about the domino that could start to fall if Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, who is polling ahead of the Republican candidate, holds that lead into the elections. Even the committee describes its own polls as a “dead heat” between the candidates.

Republicans are wary of data centers
In an NRSC letter headlined “Ohio Data Center Risk,” the Republican committee warned AI giants that politicians could soon see support for data centers as a sure-fire way to lose public support and elections.

The reaction is not an overreaction as Brown has spent millions making Husted “the face of data centers in Ohio” and fingering him as the local accomplice for ballooning electricity bills tied to the nearly 250 data centers in Ohio. Residential rates have climbed 175% since 2005, outpacing inflation and the national average, per U.S. Energy Information Administration data.

A Gallup poll this spring found 71% of Americans oppose building AI data centers near them, ABC News reported.

However, the committee gave AI firms some pointers to set the train back on track:

Let communities know who benefits from data centers
Tell people who actually pays for these facilities
Explain why a community should want one
Without that clarity, the NRSC said Democrats will continue to hammer that point throughout this voting cycle.

Husted has throttled data center support
The tone from Husted has changed since he was aggressively pushing “the tech capital of the Midwest” agenda as Ohio’s lieutenant
