Polymarket is starting to emerge as the most popular and active prediction protocol with strong activity observed over the last few months. 
Over the last few years, Polymarket has expanded on top of the Ethereum ecosystem to create the largest prediction market. Polymarket did not see a significant increase in users or bet sizes until 2024. 
There have already been attempts at prediction markets on cryptocurrency blockchains. Some saw the company strategy as having a murky legal standing. In certain areas, prediction markets were considered a type of gambling. Several earlier blockchain apps concealed risky trading techniques or various sorts of gambling by using a prediction market. 
Games, DeFi, and DEX are the most popular users on Polygon, where Polymarket is still a very small app. On the other hand, exposure may boost the recent focus. To place a wager on the tokenless Polymarket platform, you’ll need ETH, USDT, or MATIC. 
The Euro football championship boosts betting activity on Polymarket, offering hedging opportunities for small investments. Polymarket is pivotal in deciding future cryptocurrency developments, with a 90% likelihood of an Ethereum ETF launch by July 26. 
On the other hand, Polymarket appears to be reaching an organic product-market fit. With the US election season quickly approaching and additional global events taking place, Polymarket has several hotly contested, potentially profitable bets. The last few months have seen an increase in volume. 
Polymarket did not become successful overnight. On its launch in 2020, it attracted users rapidly but it failed to cross the 50M volume mark, however, in 2024 crypto betters have found a new love as it <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/07/01/polymarket-hits-100m-monthly-volume-on-2024-election-bets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hits 100M monthly volume</a>. The idea has received backing from individuals such as investor Naval Ravikant and is connected to Polychain.

Polymarket’s focus is on bets for the US Presidential Election outcome, with new markets emerging. Recent attention surged after opening odds on President Joe Biden’s potential withdrawal from the race, fueling activity in political prediction markets. 
In 2024, political bets surged to 70% of all Polymarket activity, with bets ranging from $1,000 to $100,000. Monthly user inflow hit 29,432, with 3,590 daily active traders adjusting bets. Open interest grew to over $46M, and daily trading volume reached $4.6M. 
Polymarket leads among prediction markets, with the sector’s total market cap now around $712M, surpassing smaller trends like Bitcoin Runes.
