What does the crowd believe? Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform, where traders stake real money on the outcomes of global events.

How Prediction Markets Work

A prediction market is a contract that pays $1 if a specific event occurs, and $0 if it doesn't. If a contract trades at $0.72, the market implies a 72% probability of that outcome happening. The price is set by supply and demand: when more traders believe an event will occur, they buy the "Yes" contract, pushing the probability higher. This mechanism makes prediction markets one of the most reliable real-time probability aggregators available — often more accurate than expert panels or traditional surveys.

How to Read the Tables

Each row shows one active market. Yes Prob. is the current market-implied probability of the stated event occurring. No Prob. is the inverse (100% minus Yes). The Signal column classifies confidence: High confidence (≥65%) means the crowd has reached strong consensus; Uncertain (40–64%) means the outcome is genuinely open; Unlikely (<40%) means the crowd has largely ruled the event out. Volume indicates total money traded — higher volume means more reliable pricing. The small badge (e.g. +3.5pp 24h) shows how the probability shifted in the last 24 hours.

Geopolitics & Policy

Political risk is notoriously hard to quantify — prediction markets are one of the few tools that translate it into actionable probabilities. The markets below track election outcomes, trade policy shifts, and geopolitical flashpoints. High-probability outcomes (≥65%) indicate crowd consensus; markets clustered near 50% signal contested terrain where a single headline can swing sentiment significantly.

Macroeconomics

Macro prediction markets capture the crowd's view on economic trajectory — GDP growth, debt ceilings, technology disruption, and fiscal policy. These are slow-moving but high-impact themes: a shift of 10 percentage points in any of these markets can represent a meaningful reassessment of the economic outlook by thousands of informed traders.
