پولی مارکیٹ $3.6 بلین کے انتخابی جوئے میں سب سے بڑی فاتح بن گئی۔

During the entire election period this year, the most popular application in the کرپٹوcurrency circle, apart from Pump.Fun, should be the prediction market Polymarket. Due to the excellent operation of Polymarket during the election, coupled with the promotion of Trump and some KOLs, the positioning of who can bet on the next president on Polymarket spread rapidly. The transaction volume related to the president continued to increase as the election night approached, until noon on November 6, due to too many people pouring into the Polymarket website, causing its server to crash briefly.

Throughout the election cycle, compared with the predictions of traditional polling organizations, the changes in odds on Polymarket have always been highly sensitive to news. Funds always precede news. When the winners of swing states have not yet been decided, the odds of Trumps victory on Polymarket have already increased.

The cumulative تجارت volume of election prediction transactions on Polymarket has reached $3,612,184,597. The trading volume of Republican candidate Trump-related transactions on Polymarket is close to $1.48 billion, and the trading volume of Democratic candidate Harris is $1.01 billion.

Leading traditional polls and gaining popularity

On November 6, data from Polymarket showed that Trumps chances of winning experienced significant fluctuations. At 1 a.m., Trumps chance of winning was 59.4%, having risen to 63% earlier. By 9:46 a.m., Trumps chance of winning rose to 71.1%, while Harriss chance of winning fell to 29.1%. As of 11:17 a.m., Trumps chance of winning climbed further to 88.6%. Since then, Trump has been leading in votes in key swing states, and the odds on Polymarket have changed rapidly, and everyone is talking with money.

According to Protos data, Polymarket and Kalshi were compared side by side with the election odds from The New York Times (NYT) and Nate Silver, and the differences were obvious. For example, on October 31, Trumps chances of winning the US election were 66% on Polymarket, but only 48% on The Hill.

Looking at a wider sample, the average of traditional polling agencies such as Nate Silver, NYT or FiveThirtyEight shows that Trump and Harris have been within a few basis points in the past period of time. Obviously, judging from the results, the results given by Polymarket based on trading activities are more convincing than those of traditional polling agencies.

On November 6, according to data from the app analytics platform SensorTower, the regulated prediction market platform Kalshi is currently ranked first in Apples financial app category and also ranked first in free apps. At the same time, Polymarket has also risen to second place in the free app rankings, which is the highest ranking for both apps to date.

Who wins and who loses?

Crypto prediction markets have always been seen as products with strong cyclicality and only specific application scenarios, such as political elections and sports events. As the US election cycle draws to a close, the future development of Polymarket will be the focus of many peoples attention, but at present, the most eye-catching is this $3.6 billion election transaction. Under the heavy bet, French trader Théo spent $45 million on Trump, and eventually became the most profitable user on Polymarket.

In August, Théo sent dozens of emails to Wall Street Journal reporters criticizing mainstream media polls that he believed were biased toward Harris. In a Zoom call, he claimed that Democratic-backed media were paving the way for social unrest by touting a tight race, when he expected a landslide victory for Trump. Théo said he was surprised by the attention to his trading and began making low-profile bets in August, buying millions of dollars in contracts on Trumps victory using the username Fredi 9999. At the time, Trump and Harris odds on Polymarket were roughly even.

To avoid wild price swings, Théo spread his bets over multiple days. However, as his bets grew, Théo noticed that other traders would avoid quotes when buying Fredi 9999, making it difficult for him to bet at the ideal price. So he created three more accounts in September and October to mask his buying behavior.

If Trump wins and sweeps the election as he expects, Théo could make more than $80 million, doubling his bets. His main bet is that Trump wins the electoral vote, and he’s betting millions more on Trump winning the popular vote — a scenario many observers consider unlikely. He’s also betting on Trump winning in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
