The @Polymarket activity went past its peak.
Jan-Feb 2026 looked like a breakout moment:
• Daily transactions hit 4M+
• Active wallets tripled in number
• February 28 set an all-time daily trading volume record of $425M
A few big events drove those numbers:
• US-Iran conflict ($529M+ in volume across markets)
• ChatGPT-6 speculations
• Government shutdown rumors
• Fed rate decisions
• 2026 midterm markets
Politics markets alone did $1.45B in January and $1.83B in February.
Once some of those events resolved, daily transactions dropped back to ~1-2M, and new market creation reduced by 80% from its April peak.
Most importantly, the remaining active users are trading more markets than at any point in the platform's history.
The next peak could break into new highs.
