What Is Polymarket?

Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform, where you trade on future events. Instead of stocks or commodities, you trade on the outcomes of real-world questions.

How Markets Work

Each market asks a question about the future. Shares represent Yes or No outcomes and settle at $1 if the outcome happens and $0 if it does not.

For example, a market might ask, Who will win the New York City Mayoral Election? If you buy Zohran Mamdani at 87¢ and he wins, each share pays $1. If he loses, the share pays $0.

You can trade shares with other users until the outcome is known. Instead of speculating on whether a stock price will rise or fall, you are trading on whether an event takes place.

Why Trade on Polymarket?

Polymarket covers a wide range of topics:

• Politics: Who will win the presidency? Which party will control Congress?

• Economy: Will the Fed cut rates? Will the U.S. enter a recession in 2025?

• Crypto: What price will Bitcoin reach in October? Will Metamask launch a token in 2025?

• Culture: Who will be the top Spotify artist in 2025? Who will win the Nobel Peace Prize?
