WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nFiscalNote Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NOTE), a global leader in AI-driven policy and regulatory intelligence, today announced a major expansion into the rapidly growing political prediction market, a category attracting increased attention as interest in outcome-based forecasting accelerates. The Company has introduced a preview experience at PoliticalPredictions.com<\/a>, highlighting its plans to establish a presence across multiple layers of the political prediction ecosystem, leveraging the Company\u2019s distinctive portfolio of relevant datasets, advanced AI capabilities, policy-focused customers, and deep domain expertise.<\/p>\n\n\u201cPrediction markets are rapidly emerging as a powerful new way to understand, anticipate, and engage with outcomes across a wide range of domains,\u201d said Josh Resnik, President & CEO of FiscalNote. \u201cAs public interest in politics and policy decisions accelerates, this category is poised to reshape how political insight is formed, shared, and acted upon, extending well beyond traditional audiences. With this expansion into prediction markets, FiscalNote is positioning itself to define this space over time, bringing its policy intelligence, data sets, and expertise into a category that is still taking shape. We see a significant opportunity to build new, differentiated businesses at the intersection of policy, data, and public decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe addressable opportunity for political prediction markets is expanding rapidly as market-based forecasting gains mainstream attention and adoption. Growth across prediction markets more broadly has been driven by rising consumer interest in outcome-based insights, with monthly trading volumes in the billions of dollars and surging participation around major events \u2014 including record activity tied to the Super Bowl \u2014 highlighting the rapid expansion of event-driven forecasting markets. As prediction-based engagement extends beyond traditional domains such as sports into political and policy outcomes, regulatory frameworks are beginning to provide clearer pathways for lawful innovation, creating opportunity for added scale across an expanding set of use cases. These dynamics create a timely opportunity to bring credible, policy-informed insight to an emerging category that is increasingly shaping how outcomes are anticipated and understood.<\/p>\n
\nTo further strengthen its position as it enters this market, FiscalNote has engaged leading experts in prediction markets, regulation, and market design. FiscalNote has appointed Dr. Laila Mintas<\/a>, an authority in the design, regulation and commercialization of prediction markets, as a Strategic Advisor for this initiative. Dr. Mintas brings more than two decades of hands-on experience building and advising regulated betting and prediction platforms, with a track record spanning sports, iGaming, and digital markets. Her background includes global senior executive and advisory roles, including leadership roles at Sportradar (SRAD), FIFA, and CONCACAF. With Dr. Mintas\u2019s extensive experience in market design, regulatory engagement, and platform launch and scale, she will advise FiscalNote on market credibility, regulatory considerations, and go-to-market strategy as it develops its political prediction offerings.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI\u2019m excited to support FiscalNote as it enters this compelling new market,\u201d said Dr. Laila Mintas, Strategic Advisor to FiscalNote. \u201cPrediction markets require careful design, credible data, and thoughtful regulatory considerations. Having spent over 20 years designing and advising on regulated markets, I see tremendous opportunity in political markets, and FiscalNote \u2014 with its deep policy expertise and advanced analytics \u2014 is uniquely positioned to build a platform that is transparent, reliable, and delivers actionable insights to users.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIn addition, FiscalNote has entered into a non-binding MOU to form a strategic partnership with 365Prediction, an innovative prediction market technology including advanced AI features, founded by Dr. Mintas. The parties expect to collaborate on market design, backend technologies, and product development. Under the partnership, the companies plan to explore potential integration of FiscalNote\u2019s policy expertise and proprietary data with 365Prediction\u2019s innovative technology platform as FiscalNote brings its credible, engaging, and data-driven political prediction experience to market.<\/p>\n
\nTogether, these initiatives reflect FiscalNote\u2019s commitment to become a meaningful participant across multiple layers of the political prediction ecosystem as it continues to take shape. The PoliticalPredictions.com preview is an early but deliberate step toward building a broader prediction capability, enabling the Company to engage audiences, refine forecasting approaches, and advance market design across multiple potential applications over time. As this effort progresses, FiscalNote intends to work closely with its customers, partners, and domain experts to help shape a credible, transparent, and scalable approach to prediction-based insight in the political and policy arena, with the ambition to play a defining role in how this category evolves.<\/p>\n
\nFiscalNote will host a live discussion on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at 11:00 am ET, to discuss the opportunities in this market and FiscalNote\u2019s approach to establishing a meaningful presence in this evolving space. Registration is available here: https:\/\/fiscalnote.com\/events\/political-prediction-markets<\/a>.
