Several big-time companies have secured their logos on the UFC cage on the White House South Lawn for President Donald Trump‘s UFC Freedom 250 event set for Sunday.The White House UFC event has attracted many of the same crypto, tech, and alternative finance companies that have grown closer to Trump and his political movement, alongside traditional corporate sponsors seeking access to one of the most-watched sporting spectacles in the country.The octagonal stage at the center of “the Claw” features several brands’ advertisements along the padded bars. Here’s who snagged a spot and their history with the Trump administration.
Polymarket
Polymarket may have the clearest direct connection to the Trump administration and its policies of any sponsor on the cage.
Trump-appointed CFTC Chairman Michael Selig on Wednesday unveiled proposed rules that would create the first formal federal framework governing prediction markets like Polymarket. The proposal would generally permit sports-related event contracts while establishing restrictions on certain categories of wagers, signaling a more permissive federal approach toward the industry.
Selig’s proposed rulemaking would cement federal oversight of a rapidly growing industry while limiting the ability of states to impose their own restrictions, aligning with Trump’s stance that markets should be federally regulated.
