随着近期 Polymarket 成交量爆炸式增长,ParaFi 作为 Polymarket 的最大单一投资方之一,通过分析链上数据以理清两个重要问题:

  1. 什么因素促成 Polymarket 最近的吸引力和关注度?

  2. Polymarket 的疯狂增长与美国大选有多大关联度?

2018 年以来,ParaFi 一直在研究并投资预测市场。早在 2020 年的种子轮中就参与了 Polymarket 投资,并在随后几年不断加码。

随着 2024 年的美国大选临近,Polymarket 年初至目前为止的交易量达到 6.88 亿美元(注:The Block 最新数据显示其总成交量已超 10 亿美元),周活跃用户从约 1400 人增长至 2 万多人,上涨约 14 倍。

Polymarket 被普遍称之为「真实信源」,以实时了解世界上发生的重大事件,它还被被总统候选人、彭博社以及华尔街日报等媒体引用。

过去 12 个月里,Polymarket 网站的浏览量呈现指数级飙涨。其每日浏览量增长 10 倍,累计页面浏览量超 3200 万。7 月下旬,Polymarket 每次页面浏览量达到峰值 130 万次,每日访问者数达到峰值 18.5 万。

从这些数据中可以看出,访问其网站的人数比实际交易的用户数还多了几个数量级。Polymarket 的受欢迎程度表明该类型平台正在崛起,成为传统媒体的一大选择。

美国大选是 Polymarket 增长的唯一驱动力?答案并不完全如此。

在首次使用 Polymarket 的近 7 万个地址中,只有 42% 在有关选举的预测市场中进行首次交易,其余 58% 即约 4 万名用户,最初在非选举市场上交易,其中就包括文化、商业、科学和宏观经济。

我们比较钟爱的一些预测市场包括:奥运会奖牌数、Taylor Swift 的订婚时间以及 GPT-5 发布时间。

虽然用户首次交易活动显得更加分散均衡,但最近几周每日交易量中,有 70% 以上是跟选举相关的预测市场挂钩的。考虑到美国大选的临近以及波动性,这个数据并不那么让人吃惊。

不过 Polymarket 其他市场也成功吸引了公众注意力。比如 2024 年 5 月,非选举相关的交易量激增就是由以太坊 ETF 批准而推动的,其累计交易量超 1300 万美元。

今年,Polymarket 上非选举相关的市场交易量也在疯狂增长,年初至今增长了 391%。

2.8 万名在选举相关市场进行首次下注的用户中,有 56% 随后在其他市场也进行了交易。

基本上,Polymarket 上面这些用户中几乎有一半也转向了涵盖经济、体育和加密货币等主题的预测市场。

另外能证明用户在平台上持续活跃的数据是不同群体的季度留存率。2023 年 Q1 注册平台的用户中,至少有 15% 在随后的每个季度中都使用 Polymarket。

值得注意的是,即便随着季度时间的推移,Polymarket 留存率并没有明显下降。2023 年 Q1 的用户群在 2023 年 Q3 的回归数据比例,与目前 2024 年 Q3 的比例大致相同。

选举相关的交易热潮兴起之后,最近几个季度的留存率实际上有所提升,因为早期用户群体的交易者受到激励而回到平台。

最近用户留存率数据表现也很强劲。2024 年 Q1 首次在 Polymarket 进行交易的用户中,有超过 45% 在接下来的季度继续交易,而在 2023 年 Q1 时这个比例仅为 25%。

交易量仅是整体交易活动的一部分。我们在交易额和用户数量方面看到趋势表现一致,Polymarket 上匹配交易量也在过去几个月中激增。年初以来,Polymarket 每次匹配的交易量已跃升超 3000%,7 月下旬甚至超过 4 万笔。

鉴于其他指标的抬升,Polymarket 匹配交易量的增加并不显得吃惊,不过这表明交易量的增长不仅仅是由于用户下注金额的增大。事实上,Polymarket 促成的交易量也在不断攀升。

值得注意的是,每日匹配交易数除以每日活跃用户数的比率,最近呈上升趋势。尽管该趋势在今年以来表现出波动性,但这一比率表明,用户每天在平台上的参与度更高。

从交易量数据来看,重度用户并不一定主导平台数据表现。我们将重度用户定义为,在一天内交易量超 25 万美元的人。2024 年 Q1 和 Q2,重度用户的交易量占据每日交易量的 51%。随着 Polymarket 用户基础向小额交易者转变,其市场份额最近有所下降。

ParaFi 相信,预测市场是有价值的工具,通过利用群体智慧,充当「真相机器」。我们认为这不过是 Polymarket 的起点。

Silicon Valley Tech Giants No Longer Need Ethicists

Silicon Valley tech giants are once again sidelining ethicists. Chloé Bakalar, OpenAI's dedicated AI Ethics Lead, left the company in July, a departure emblematic of a broader trend where ethics teams are being disbanded or marginalized in the race for AI dominance. Bakalar's career highlights the tensions between ethical governance and commercial speed. She first made her mark at Meta (formerly Facebook), where she pioneered "embedded ethics," developing tools like checklists to translate abstract principles like fairness and transparency into concrete engineering steps. Her framework aimed to embed ethical considerations throughout a product’s lifecycle—from initial design and data handling to user interaction and deployment. However, this approach faced significant internal resistance. At Meta, her Responsible AI team was eventually disbanded as the company prioritized rapid development, especially in the generative AI race with OpenAI. Bakalar then joined OpenAI in 2025, hoping to influence cutting-edge model development directly. Yet, as the company's sole dedicated ethicist, she reportedly struggled with limited influence and resources amidst intense commercial pressures, leading to her departure after roughly a year. Her exit is not isolated. Similar patterns have emerged across Silicon Valley, with ethics and safety teams at Twitter (post-Musk acquisition) and OpenAI's own "superalignment" team being dissolved. These departures reveal five core, unresolved tensions: 1) the fatal conflict between commercialization speed and ethical caution; 2) the role mismatch where ethicists have prestige but little real decision-making power; 3) the dilution of responsibility when ethics is decentralized as "everyone's job"; 4) the inevitable "translation loss" when complex philosophical values are reduced to quantifiable engineering metrics; and 5) the fundamental clash between academic independence and corporate secrecy. Bakalar’s trajectory suggests that embedding meaningful ethical oversight within hyper-competitive tech companies is profoundly difficult. Lasting change may require external regulatory pressure, like the EU's AI Act, or a fundamental reimagining of the ethicist's role from an internal auditor to a cross-disciplinary builder with genuine authority.

Tron Network's USDT Issuance Surpasses Ethereum, Once Again Becoming the World's Largest USDT Issuance Network

According to Tether's official data, as of August 13, 2026, the supply of USDT on the TRON network has increased by another $10 billion, reaching $91.2 billion. This has once again surpassed the USDT supply on the Ethereum network ($90.3 billion), making TRON the largest USDT issuance network globally. This milestone reinforces TRON's dominant position in the stablecoin sector and highlights the sustained appeal of its low-fee, high-efficiency settlement network for global stablecoin capital. The growth of TRC20-USDT is driven by genuine, sustainable demand. By August 2026, TRC20-USDT issuance on TRON exceeded $91.2 billion, with approximately 75.47 million holding accounts. TRON consistently handles about half of all global USDT transactions. Data shows TRON dominates in retail and small-to-medium value transfers, with its main use case being direct peer-to-peer value transfers for purposes like remittances, merchant payments, and freelance settlements. In Q1 2026 alone, TRON processed approximately $2.04 trillion in USDT transfer volume. TRON is also strengthening its infrastructure through broader ecosystem access, user experience improvements like GasFree mechanisms, and enhanced security governance. A key initiative is the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU), a collaboration between TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs. By May 2026, T3 FCU had frozen over $450 million in illicit assets across 23 jurisdictions, demonstrating how blockchain transparency combined with public-private cooperation can improve response efficiency. Simultaneously, TRON is expanding into new frontiers like AI with the launch of B.AI, positioning it as financial infrastructure for the AI Agent era. This move signals TRON's evolution from the world's largest stablecoin settlement network toward becoming foundational infrastructure for the AI and Web3 economy. TRON's USDT competitiveness is thus transitioning from "volume accumulation" to "quality enhancement," focusing on optimizing performance, security, and accessibility for global digital value transfer.
