How we count

We read the 400 most traded open Polymarket events Syndicate lists, by 24h volume, leaving out events under $1,000 a day. Events Syndicate does not list are not counted. Volume shares on this page are shares of that sample.

Polymarket tags an event with several categories, so we file each one under the first it carries in this order: Esports, Sports, Crypto, Geopolitics, Politics, Economy, Finance, AI, Tech, Culture, Weather, then other. Open-event counts use the same order over all 3,437 open events Syndicate lists, so their shares add up to 100%.

A race is an event with at least 3 priced outcomes whose prices sum to at most 105%, as they would if only one outcome can win. When an event has more than 50 outcomes, we add up the 50 highest prices. Live matches and price or date ladders are left out. A price is the market's YES probability.

Outcome names are shortened by dropping the words every outcome in the event shares.
