The retention rate on @Polymarket remains unmatched.
~394k unique wallets participated during the 2024 elections, and nearly 26% are still active a year later.
For context, DEX retention is around ~7%, and that number likely includes a lot of "dead" platforms, which drags the average down.
But even the strongest perp DEXs don’t get close: Hyperliquid’s 6-Month Retention (Top Users) was about 20%.
Polymarket is above that.
November is on pace for another $4B+ month volume if the current run rate holds.
That's basically matching the crazy October/November 2024 levels when everything went parabolic around the US elections.
People are coming back for new markets.
