A report from blockchain analyst DeFi Oasis reveals that Polymarket profits are massively concentrated: only 0.04% of addresses captured 70% of the total benefits, totaling $3.7 billion. Out of 1.7 million users, approximately 70% recorded losses, showing that the platform operates under a dynamic where a few winners absorb nearly all the capital.
This profitability gap reflects a structure similar to traditional financial markets, where sophisticated algorithms and professional traders extract value from retail participants. While 668 addresses earned more than one million dollars, most users with positive results saw modest returns between $0 and $1,000, proving that large-scale success remains an exception for the elite.
The next step is to observe how the entry of institutions like Intercontinental Exchange and Google Finance influences this distribution. With monthly volume already exceeding $13 billion, the market will monitor whether CFTC regulation and competition from platforms like Kalshi manage to democratize Polymarket profits or if the gap between whales and retail will continue to widen.
