PANews Data: 63% of short-term markets on Polymarket had zero transactions in the past 24 hours, with 505 top contracts accounting for 47% of the trading volume.

CoinWorld.net January 8 News, CoinWorld.net recently analyzed 295,000 historical market data points from the Polymarket platform. The data shows: 1. Over 60% of short-term markets have become “zombies”: among active markets with cycles less than 1 day, 63.16% of contracts had a 24-hour trading volume of 0. 2. Lack of liquidity in crypto short-term trading: the average trading volume in short-term sports markets ($1.32 million) is 30 times higher than in crypto ( $44,000 ), indicating a lack of capital support for crypto short-term predictions. 3. Extreme head effect: only 505 super contracts with a trading volume exceeding $10 million (a very small proportion) monopolize 47% of the total trading volume across the platform. 4. Large funds favor long-term: the average liquidity for long-term predictions (>30 days) is 45 times that of single-day markets, with the US political sector leading at $28.17 million. 5. Geopolitical rise: this sector accounts for 29.7% of active participation, becoming the fastest-growing track. Data indicates that Polymarket is differentiating into “high-frequency sports betting” and “macro political hedging,” with liquidity highly concentrated in a few top narratives.
