Prediction market monthly volume hits $25.7B as Polymarket users shift to repeat bets

Published Apr 29, 2026

A new report by Bitget Wallet and Polymarket found monthly prediction market volume reached $25.7 billion, with retail users driving repeat activity on Polymarket in a shift from one-off bets to continuous engagement. The Bitget Wallet and Polymarket report data reflects broader platform momentum: Polymarket alone crossed $28 billion in cumulative volume, according to a separate Phemex survey of platforms for trading crypto, politics, and sports. The Phemex report pegged March 2026 prediction market trading volume at $23.7 billion. The combined figures point to sustained user retention and expanding market depth as prediction markets mature beyond event-driven spikes.

Why this matters?

Polymarket's retail retention curve now rivals traditional betting apps, forcing DraftKings and FanDuel to accelerate their own prediction-market launches before the 2026 midterm cycle locks in user loyalties.
