Polymarket Says Goodbye to Zero-Fee Era, Will Charge Taker Fees on Nearly All Trades

BlockBeatNews

BlockBeats News, March 26 โ€” Prediction market platform Polymarket announced a major policy change, effective March 30, which will introduce taker fees on nearly all trading categories for the first time. The new fee structure uses a variable rate, with peak rates for cryptocurrency-related contracts reaching up to 1.8%. Actual fees will vary based on share prices and market dynamics. Sports, finance, politics, culture, weather, and general categories will have lower tiered rates, while mention and certain economic prediction categories will have higher peak rates, around 1.5%.

Notably, geopolitics is the only category completely exempt from fees, highlighting Polymarketโ€™s strategic focus on high-risk global events. This change ends Polymarketโ€™s long-standing โ€œzero-feeโ€ appeal.
