Most Polymarket users trade little and break even, study finds
A new Pew Research Center study of nearly 12,000 accounts found the typical Polymarket user made 46 trades over six weeks, with an average trade value of $6.50. More than half of traders either gained or lost less than $100, and the average user had a net loss of under $2. The most active participants were sports traders, making 69 trades on average.
