On January 5, 2026, prediction market platform Polymarket officially announced a partnership with Parcl, a real-time real estate data and on-chain real estate platform. This collaboration brings real estate, one of the world's largest asset classes, into the prediction market space for the first time, allowing traders to express their views on housing price trends in a simpler and more transparent way.
According to official information, the specific details of the cooperation include: Polymarket will launch a new real estate forecasting market, with settlements directly based on Parcl's daily house price index. Parcl will provide independent index data and settlement reference values, ensuring the entire process is transparent and verifiable. Traders can predict house price fluctuations in specific cities without facing the complexities of traditional real estate investment, such as leverage, long-term holding, or individual property risks. The initial markets will focus on high-liquidity cities such as New York, Miami, San Francisco, and Austin, and will gradually expand to more cities and different types of indices based on user demand.
This collaboration combines Parcl's daily on-chain data with Polymarket's event market structure, providing clear settlement rules and publicly auditable resolution data, making real estate forecasting more data-driven and reliable. The relevant real estate forecasting market is now available on the Polymarket platform.

After the announcement, the price of PRCL rose rapidly, reaching a high of approximately $0.045, and is currently trading at $0.0428. Trading volume increased dramatically, with a nearly 24-hour increase of up to 100%, reflecting the market's high regard for the partnership.
