Polymarket has added Solana as a payment option, responding to the growing interest in prediction markets.
Polymarket Offers Fast and Low-Cost Investment Opportunities with Solana Integration
Polymarket now allows users to deposit funds into their wallets using Solana, a high-speed, low-cost blockchain.
“Starting today, you can deposit into your Polymarket wallet using Solana,” the platform announced on X. This integration marks a significant upgrade for the prediction market platform and contributes to its growing popularity ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
In 2024, the company has made significant strides, frequently breaking trading volume and daily active user records, particularly in politically focused markets.
Prediction Accuracy Exceeds 90%
Polymarket is proving to be more than just a speculative playground. According to new research, the platform demonstrates impressive accuracy in forecasting real-world events, often outperforming traditional polling methods.
Data scientist Alex McCullough conducted an in-depth analysis of Polymarket’s historical performance and found that the platform is 90% accurate in predicting events one month in advance. This figure rises to an impressive 94% in the final four hours leading up to an event’s resolution.
McCullough’s analysis filtered out markets with extreme odds (those above 90% or below 10% once the outcome was known but not settled) to avoid skewing the results. His research suggests that while Polymarket slightly overestimates probabilities, this is often attributed to behavioral factors such as herd mentality, low liquidity, and users’ preference for higher-risk bets.
