Report: Less than 1% of wallets captured half of Polymarket profits

Only a small fraction of users on the prediction market platform Polymarket are profitable, creating a structural polarization where a few well-funded and technologically advanced traders capture most of the gains, according to an analysis by crypto risk monitoring firm Solidus Labs. In a recent report, Solidus found that half of all profits from major political prediction markets between December 2025 and February 2026 were concentrated in less than 1% of participating wallets, CoinDesk reported. The report detailed that just 0.55% of profitable maker (limit order) wallets accounted for 50% of the total profit, while among taker (market order) wallets, half of the profits were captured by only 0.26% of participants. In dollar terms, this means that of approximately $16 million in profits, around $8 million went to this sub-1% group.
