Last week marked Polymarket highest trading volume week since the 2024 U.S. elections but with a very different composition.
Back then, politics (mostly US Election) made up over 75% of total activity.
Now, Polymarket market mix has shifted:
- Sports leads with 42% of total volume,
- Crypto has risen to #2 with 26%,
- Politics has dropped to ~21%, its lowest share since mid-2023.
The shift signals a broader user base and diversification of use cases beyond election-driven spikes.
As new categories reach critical mass in users, volume, and open interest, it’s also expectable that new tools and specialized clients will emerge for example, sports-focused markets or binary options/derivatives platforms built on Polymarket infrastructure.
