Polymarket US Weekly Volume Reaches $870 Million, Closing In on Offshore

Polymarket US recorded $870 million in weekly trading volume, a substantial increase from $60 million six months ago, according to Galaxy Research data cited in information shared on X by @CoinMarketCap.

The latest figure places Polymarket US within reach of the $1.2 billion in weekly volume recorded by the offshore Polymarket platform. The narrowing gap highlights the rapid increase in activity on Polymarket US as prediction markets continue to attract greater participation.

The figures provide a snapshot of how quickly trading activity has expanded on the U.S. platform compared with its level six months earlier.

Polymarket US Volume Climbs From $60 Million

Polymarket US’s weekly volume has increased from $60 million six months ago to $870 million, according to Galaxy Research.

The increase represents a significant expansion in activity over the period. Weekly trading volume is a measure of the total value of trades conducted on the platform during a given week and is commonly used to assess activity and liquidity in a market.

At $870 million, Polymarket US is now approaching the $1.2 billion weekly volume attributed to the offshore Polymarket platform.

The difference between the two figures is $330 million, meaning Polymarket US has reached a level equivalent to roughly three-quarters of the offshore platform’s reported weekly volume.

The comparison indicates that the U.S. platform has become a significant source of prediction-market activity based on the figures cited by Galaxy Research.

Gap With Offshore Polymarket Narrows

The offshore Polymarket platform recorded $1.2 billion in weekly volume, compared with $870 million on Polymarket US.

The comparison is notable because the two platforms represent separate markets within the broader Polymarket ecosystem. Their respective trading volumes provide a way to assess the scale of activity taking place across the platforms.

Polymarket has become known for prediction markets, where participants trade contracts tied to the outcomes of future events. These markets can cover a wide range of subjects, with contract values changing as markets participants adjust their expectations.

The latest figures show that activity on Polymarket US has expanded considerably relative to its level six months ago.

Prediction Markets Continue to Expand

The increase in Polymarket US volume comes as prediction markets gain greater visibility as a form of event-based trading.

Rather than trading traditional assets such as stocks or commodities, participants in prediction markets buy and sell contracts connected to specific outcomes. Prices can reflect the market’s collective expectations about the likelihood of those outcomes.

Trading volume can increase when markets attract more participants, when existing users trade more frequently, or when significant events generate greater interest. The figures provided by Galaxy Research do not specify which individual markets or events accounted for the increase in Polymarket US activity.

As a result, the reported $870 million figure should be viewed as an aggregate measure of weekly platform activity rather than an indication of activity in any particular prediction market.

Polymarket US Approaches $1.2 Billion Benchmark

The latest data put Polymarket US substantially closer to the offshore platform’s $1.2 billion weekly volume than it was six months ago, when its reported volume stood at just $60 million.

The growth from $60 million to $870 million represents a change of $810 million in weekly volume over the six-month period.

While the two platforms have not yet reached the same reported level, the current figures show a considerably narrower difference. Polymarket US remains $330 million below the $1.2 billion benchmark cited for the offshore platform.

According to the data financial shared by @CoinMarketCap, Galaxy Research is the source of the figures. The data underscore the scale of recent growth in Polymarket US trading activity and its increasingly close comparison with the offshore platform.
