  3. Chainlink Oracles Back New Polymarket Metals Contracts — this brief

NewsBTC reports that Polymarket and Chainlink expanded their oracle partnership on October 29, introducing prediction markets with 15-minute trading periods for gold and silver. The contracts are structured as up-and-down markets and use Chainlink’s oracle network, according to the report. The development extends the collaboration to two metals, adding shorter-duration, price-direction contracts to Polymarket’s product lineup. No additional outlet coverage was supplied, so the announcement and its stated timing currently rest on NewsBTC’s report rather than independent cross-source corroboration. Live data show Polymarket’s total value locked at $307.44 million, a 12.3% decline over the past seven days, according to DeFiLlama. The wider crypto market is also broadly lower: Bitcoin is down 1.58% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index stands at 29, indicating a Fear reading. Chainlink itself is trading at $10.71, down 0.15% over 24 hours and 5.31% over seven days, with a reported market capitalization of $8.21 billion. The new markets are relevant because they connect a crypto prediction-market platform with commodity-price movements; their uptake will depend on participation and trading activity in the gold and silver contracts.
