Polymarket will impose taker fees on nearly all trading categories
The prediction market platform Polymarket announced a major policy adjustment that, starting March 30, will impose taker fees on nearly all trading categories for the first time. The new fee structure employs variable rates, with cryptocurrency-related contracts reaching peak rates of up to 1.8%, with actual fees presenting a curve variation based on share prices and market dynamics. Sports, finance, politics, culture, weather, and general categories adopt lower tiered rates, while mention categories and certain economic prediction peak rates are higher, at approximately 1.5%.
Notably, geopolitics is the only category completely exempt from fees, highlighting Polymarket's strategic focus on high-risk global events. This change ends Polymarket's long-standing "zero-fee" appeal.
