PANews reported on November 12th that in an Empire podcast, Phantom Wallet CEO Brandon Millman and VP of Strategy Donnie Dinch discussed the team's future strategic direction. Brandon clearly stated that Phantom has no intention of launching its own blockchain, as this contradicts the open and permissioned principles of the crypto industry. He emphasized that Phantom will continue to focus on its existing ecosystem, such as Solana, and will continue to optimize the user experience, focusing on serving ordinary consumers. There are currently no plans to develop products for institutional users. In addition, the team is working to expand its product line, including launching Phantom Cash, a stablecoin-based financial service, and the upcoming professional trading terminal, Phantom Terminal. Regarding an IPO, Brandon believes Phantom has the potential to become one of the few on-chain consumer companies to go public, but there are currently no concrete plans. He points out that while an IPO can bring funding and brand recognition, it also comes with a significant operational burden. Phantom prefers to secure sufficient private funding from existing investors (such as A16Z, Paradigm, and Sequoia) to support the company's growth.PANews reported on November 12th that in an Empire podcast, Phantom Wallet CEO Brandon Millman and VP of Strategy Donnie Dinch discussed the team's future strategic direction.

Two weeks ago, the CFTC gave Polymarket the green light to allow those very same US residents to place bets on whatever they like. This is quite the turn of events — and it’s not just about elections or politics. With its US government seal of approval in hand, Polymarket is reportedly raising capital at a valuation of $9 billion — a reflection of the growing belief that prediction markets will be used for much more than betting on elections once every four years. Instead, proponents say prediction markets can provide a real service to the world by providing it with better information about nearly everything. I think they might, too — but only if insiders are free to participate. Yesterday, for example, Polymarket announced new betting markets on company earnings reports, with a promise that it would improve the information that investors have to work with.  Instead of waiting three months to find out how a company is faring, investors could simply watch the odds on Polymarket.  If the probability of an earnings beat is rising, for example, investors would know at a glance that things are going well. But that will only happen if enough of the people betting actually know how things are going. Relying on the wisdom of crowds to magically discern how a business is doing won’t add much incremental knowledge to the world; everyone’s guesses are unlikely to average out to the truth. If…
