Polymarket's ongoing trading volume surge into 2026—driven by sports, politics, and U.S. user return—has markedly boosted Polygon's on-chain activity, where the platform operates.
Key transmission effects:
Spiked transactions elevate network fees, gas usage, and token burns to record levels.
This increases POL demand for fees/staking, fueling price rallies (22–51% in recent weeks, hitting ~$0.35+).
On-chain metrics show revived revenues (highest since 2024 election peak), active addresses, and utility-driven growth.
Spillover to other prediction market tokens remains limited, as Polymarket dominates; hype around a potential native token adds speculation but no broad sector lift yet.
