Donald Trump Jr. has become an adviser to Polymarket, a crypto-based prediction market that returned to the US this year after prosecutors ended a probe of the company.

The site, which allows users to bet on the outcomes of events in politics, sports and pop culture, announced Trump Jr.’s role in a release Tuesday. 1789 Capital, the investment firm co-founded by Omeed Malik and where Trump Jr. is a partner, also invested in Polymarket, according to the statement.
