Polymarket Taps Goldman Veteran Lisa Mantil Amid Prediction Market Scrutiny

Polymarket has announced the appointment of Lisa Mantil as its new head of institutional growth. Mantil brings nearly three decades of experience from Goldman Sachs, where she worked as a partner.

The move is seen as a bet on attracting Wall Street money, and it comes at a time when regulators, state attorneys general, and lawmakers in Washington D.C. are increasing their scrutiny of prediction markets.

Polymarket's appointment of Mantil may be an attempt to demonstrate its credibility and stability as a platform for prediction market trading.
