Investors are potentially seeing some big potential going forward.

Intercontinental Exchange, yes crypto means traditional finance, and Intercontinential Exchange plans to invest as much as two billion in cash in poly Market.

Speaker 3

That's quite a turnaround story for poly Market. Now it's it's around eight billion in value. Of course, just a few years back, things for very different. Poly Market was kicked offshore by federal regulators. Kyleshy Polymarket, those companies got a lot of popularity when it comes to betting on

election outcomes. But Polymarket is now back. It came after it acquired a kind of little known derivative exchange code qc X. Of course it has it has been favored by regulation that's a lot more permissive to those bets.

It's currently seventy doors from one hundred and ten. Price stack's Walmart is involved in this. They're saying that doorstree is long standing competitive advantage, which is like simple bargain may have all but evaporated. Jeffries found that the shopping bills at Walmart were lower than those a door Tree, so we're seeing some pressure there. Obviously, consumer is not necessarily doing so well. We're having some worries there inflation and pressure on the consumer, and that's definitely.

Speaker 4

Weighing on the stock. And it's not only that.

Speaker 3

Actually door General is now five below is down today, So a lot of pressure on those retailers today and without too much economic data this week, but obviously we're looking at all those consumer facing brands and the pressure they're feeling.
