What to know:

  • A Polymarket prediction market on which crypto company ZachXBT will accuse of insider trading has drawn nearly $3 million in volume ahead of his promised February 26 report.
  • Traders currently see Solana-based liquidity platform Meteora as the leading candidate at about 43% odds, with Axiom, Pump.fun, Jupiter and MEXC trailing at lower probabilities.
  • While shifting odds reflect where thousands of bettors are willing to risk money, the market prices speculation rather than evidence and offers no confirmed insight into ZachXBT’s investigation.

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT, ever the mysterious figure, hasn’t exactly spilled the beans on his target just yet. But, naturally, Polymarket bettors, ever so eager to gamble with their wealth, are already guessing where the investigation’s going. It’s not like there’s any hard evidence to go on. No, no, just a whisper here, a tweet there, and a whole lot of betting.

Enter Polymarket: the blockchain prediction platform that lets users trade contracts based on real-world outcomes-except, as usual, there’s absolutely no way to verify any of it. The odds are not so much about facts as they are about who’s willing to put their hard-earned cash on the line, fueled by hope, rumors, and the occasional bad decision.

Since ZachXBT, with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, posted on X that a “major investigation” would be unveiled on February 26, traders have been flocking to Polymarket like moths to a flame. And for all their trouble, they’ve managed to place a whopping $3 million in bets. Ah, the thrill of uncertain riches!

As of the latest updates, the Solana-based liquidity platform Meteora leads the charge with a healthy 43% chance of being ZachXBT’s next big target, pulling in $319,000 in betting volume alone. The platform’s been a hot topic in meme coin circles, primarily due to its connections to the meme coin market structure, with suspicions circulating about the timing of token launches. People like to gossip. It’s their thing.

Meanwhile, Axiom, Pump.fun, Jupiter, and MEXC are trailing far behind, with Axiom coming in at a meager 13%, and Pump.fun still lingering at 12%. Now, Pump.fun has seen some real action, though, mostly related to accusations of early-wallet sniping. The project denies all such allegations, of course-because who wouldn’t deny such things when the odds aren’t in their favor?

In the meantime, Jupiter (8%) and MEXC (7%) have been thrown into the mix, each linked to their own swirling whirlpools of gossip: Jupiter’s supposed role in Solana DeFi routing, and MEXC’s alleged ties to whale-friendly meme coin markets. Yes, such colorful accusations are everywhere. No proof, though. Just more rumors to fuel the betting fire.

For those betting souls who’ve been following these odds since the market opened, they’ll notice a shift. Meteora has solidified its position as the front-runner, while the other candidates have seen their odds drop between 37-42%. Clearly, speculation has moved from wild guesswork to something more calculated. If anything, the market is giving us a snapshot of how everyone thinks ZachXBT operates, based on his previous work and social media musings. Just remember: none of this constitutes actual evidence. Not yet, anyway.

But who needs evidence when you’ve got a million-dollar game of “who will ZachXBT expose next” to keep things interesting? Let’s not kid ourselves-prediction markets are about putting money where your mouth is, not facts. If you’ve ever wanted to gamble on the uncertain future, this is your chance.

The truth will be revealed in two days. And until then, we’ll all just keep betting and speculating, because that’s what we do best.
