ChainCatcher report: The prediction market platform Polymarket has announced a major policy change, effective March 30, introducing taker fees for nearly all trading categories for the first time. The new fee structure employs variable rates, with peak fees for crypto-related contracts reaching up to 1.8%; actual fees will fluctuate dynamically based on share prices and market conditions. Lower tiered rates apply to categories such as sports, finance, politics, culture, weather, and general topics, while mention-based and certain economic predictions have higher peak fees of approximately 1.5%. Notably, geopolitics remains the only category entirely exempt from fees, underscoring Polymarket’s strategic emphasis on high-risk global events. This change ends Polymarket’s long-standing “zero-fee” appeal.
