10亿美元交易量背后:从链上数据看Polymarket

鉴于Polymarket最近的爆炸式增长,ParaFi团队一直在分析链上数据,以了解两个关键问题:

1)哪些因素推动了Polymarket最近的吸引力?

2)Polymarket的增长在多大程度上受到美国大选的推动?

作为背景,ParaFi自 2018 年以来一直在研究和投资预测市场。如今,ParaFi是Polymarket最大的单一投资者,它在 2020 年的种子轮进行了投资,并在随后的几年里加倍下注。

随着 2024 年美国大选的临近,Polymarket今年迄今的交易量已达6.88亿美元(注:最新数据已破10亿美元),每周活跃用户增长了约14倍,从约 1400 人增加到 20000 多人。

然而,交易量只是故事的一部分。还有更多的东西有待揭开。

Polymarket网站流量

Polymarket 被广泛认为是实时了解全球最关键事件的“真相来源”,总统候选人和彭博社、华尔街日报等媒体都曾引用过它。

Polymarket.com的网络流量呈指数级增长。在过去 12 个月中,每日页面浏览量增长了 10 倍,累计页面浏览量超过 3200 万。7 月下半月,每日页面浏览量达到 130 万的峰值,每日访客达到18.5万的峰值。

通过这些数据,我们可以看到访问Polymarket.com的人数比实际交易的用户数量高出几个数量级。Polymarket 的受欢迎程度表明该平台正在成为传统媒体的有力替代品。

选举是推动Polymarket流行的唯一因素吗?

不完全是。在使用过Polymarket的近70,000个地址中,只有42%的人首次交易选择了选举相关市场。其余 58%(约 40,000 名用户)最初在非选举市场进行交易,包括文化、商业、科学和宏观市场。

我们最喜欢的一些市场包括:奥运奖牌数、泰勒·斯威夫特订婚时间表和 GPT-5 发布日期。

虽然首次交易活动更加平衡,但最近几周,以美元计算的每日交易量中有 70% 以上与选举相关市场有关。考虑到选举前后事件的接近性和波动性,这并不奇怪。

但其他市场也成功吸引了公众的注意力。例如,2024 年 5 月,非选举相关交易量的激增是由以太坊 ETF 批准市场推动的,该市场的累计交易量超过 1300 万美元。

非选举相关市场的交易量今年也大幅增长,今年迄今增长了 391%。

在 28,000多名首次在选举相关市场下注的用户中,56%随后在其他市场进行交易。

基本上,几乎一半首次在选举相关市场进行交易的用户转向了涵盖经济、体育和加密货币等主题的市场。

Polymarket留存率怎么样

不同群体的季度留存率是用户留在平台上的另一个证明。在 2023 年第一季度加入该平台的用户中,至少有 15% 的用户在随后的每个季度都使用了该平台。

也许更重要的是,随着季度的推移,留存率并没有急剧下降。到目前为止,2023 年第一季度的用户群体在 2023 年第三季度的回归比例与 2024 年第三季度大致相同。

随着选举相关交易的炒作,最近几个季度的留存率实际上略有提升,因为早期群体的交易者有动力重返该平台。

最近群体的留存率也高得多。2024年第一季度在 Polymarket 上进行首次交易的用户中,超过 45% 在接下来的一个季度进行了交易,而 2023 年第一季度首次交易的用户中只有 25%。

匹配交易量飙升

交易量也只是整体交易活动情况的一部分。与我们看到的交易金额和用户数量的趋势一致,Polymarket上的匹配交易数量在过去几个月中也飙升。自今年年初以来,每日匹配交易量跃升逾 3,000%,7月底超过40,000笔。

考虑到其他指标的上升,匹配交易数量的增加并不令人震惊,但它确实表明交易量的增长不仅仅是因为用户下了更高金额的赌注。Polymarket 实际促成的交易量也在攀升。

同样值得注意的是,近期每日匹配交易量除以每日活跃用户数呈上升趋势。虽然这一趋势今年迄今一直存在波动,但该比率表明,平均而言,用户每天对该平台的参与度更高。

超级用户主导作用变弱

从交易量数据来看,超级用户并不一定主导平台。

我们将超级用户定义为每天交易量至少超过 25 万美元的人。在 2024 年第一季度和第二季度,超级用户平均占每日交易量的 51%。但随着 Polymarket 的用户群向小型交易者转变,他们的市场份额最近一直在下降。

其他

ParaFi 团队很高兴在未来几年继续关注和与 Polymarket 合作。我们相信,预测市场是人类的宝贵工具——通过利用群体智慧,充当“真相机器”。我们的感觉是,这只是 Polymarket 的开始。

免责声明:所有数据均基于Polymarket中央限价订单簿,从 2022 年 11 月 21 日到 2024 年 7 月 29 日(不包括自动做市商数据)。

选举相关市场涵盖了 ParaFi 团队确定的与 2024 年美国总统大选结果相关的规模庞大(交易量超过 100 万美元)的市场。非选举相关市场确实包括与政治相关的较小市场。

“用户”定义为 Polymarket 上订单的任何做市商或接受者的地址。虽然本文使用的所有查询都是由 ParaFi 团队开发的,但我们很欣赏现有的由@richardchen3和 @/lifewillbeokay创建的Dune仪表板,给我们提供了有用的启发。

Interview with NDV Founder Jason Huang: Piercing the AI Bubble and the MicroStrategy Myth, Seeking the Ultimate Edge in the Crypto Market

In a podcast with WuBlockchain, NDV founder Jason Huang discusses recent market dynamics, expressing a bearish outlook on crypto in the near term. He attributes Bitcoin's recent decline to a combination of cyclical selling pressure, the start of a US stock market correction, and liquidity tightening. A key catalyst is the emerging financial strain on MicroStrategy (MSTR). Huang explains that MSTR's model of borrowing to buy Bitcoin created a positive "flywheel" in a bull market. However, with falling BTC prices turning its stock premium into a discount, the model is now under severe stress. While MSTR only sold 32 BTC recently, the market is "front-running" the fear of its massive 80,000+ BTC holdings potentially being liquidated to meet debt obligations. He believes a true market bottom requires a major, capitulation-level event similar to the FTX collapse. Regarding investments, Huang states his fund is up over 20% this year, outperforming Bitcoin by 50-60%. The strategy involves crypto assets and commodities like oil, gold, and silver, but avoids AI stocks due to a perceived lack of trading edge. He is cautious of crowded trades in semiconductors and sees bubbles in the broader market, citing the hype around a potential SpaceX IPO. Despite short-term pessimism, Huang remains long-term bullish on one crypto innovation: stablecoins. He views them as the clearest example of a "faster, better" financial tool with significant room for global adoption. For the future, he is very bearish on Ethereum. For Bitcoin, he anticipates potential for a significant drop below $48,000 before a eventual rebound, but stresses the need to wait for a true panic-driven bottom marked by widespread despair and disinterest in the market.

Conversation with Jason Huang, Founder of NDV: Puncturing the AI Bubble and the MicroStrategy Myth, Searching for the Ultimate Trump Card in the Crypto Market

In a podcast interview, NDV founder Jason Huang discusses the recent crypto market downturn, attributing the initial phase to typical Bitcoin cycle selling pressure, now compounded by a US stock market correction, tightening liquidity, and MicroStrategy's financial strain. He argues the market hasn't bottomed yet, noting true bear market lows often require a major, despair-inducing event like FTX's collapse. Huang details MicroStrategy's precarious position: its debt-and-equity fueled Bitcoin buying model has reversed into a negative cycle as prices fell. He interprets its sale of just 32 BTC as a signal prioritizing creditors over shareholders, sparking market "front-running" of its larger potential sell-off. A true bottom may arrive only after MicroStrategy resolves its looming debt payments, possibly via a large, private Bitcoin sale. His fund is up ~20% this year, outperforming Bitcoin by 50-60%, by shorting crypto and trading commodities like oil and gold. He avoided AI stocks despite being a heavy user, citing a lack of trading edge in the crowded semiconductor hardware trade, which he views as ripe for a significant correction. Long-term, Huang remains bullish on stablecoins as crypto's clearest, most practical innovation with high growth potential. He is very bearish on Ethereum and skeptical that Bitcoin has found its floor, suggesting $48,000 may not hold. He expects a sharp decline followed by a strong recovery within a year, but only after a major panic event leads to widespread capitulation and despair—the true hallmark of a market bottom.

U.S. Stocks Trend (June 24): Korean Stock Plunge Ripples Global Chip Sector, Micron Tumbles Over 10%, Long-Term Supply Certainty Faces a 'Hard Test'

US Stock Market Trend (June 24): South Korean Market Plunge Disrupts Global Chips, Micron Drops Over 10%, Long-Term Supply Certainty Faces Hard Test On Monday, the South Korean KOSPI index plunged 10%, with SK Hynix and Samsung dropping over 12%, triggered by rumors that SK Hynix might slow its HBM4 production expansion. This shock quickly spread to the U.S. semiconductor sector. Micron plummeted 13.18% to $1,051.77, SanDisk fell 13.64%, and Marvell declined 8%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closed down 7.87%, while the Nasdaq fell 2.21% to 25,587.04 points. The sell-off particularly hit memory chip stocks. Defensive sectors showed relative resilience, with gains in stocks like IBM and Johnson & Johnson. Market volatility spiked, with the VIX index jumping 12.79%. Commodities weakened, with WTI crude oil hitting a near three-month low and gold falling below $4,100. The core issue is not a challenge to AI demand itself, but a market reassessment of overly optimistic capacity expectations for memory chips, especially HBM. The rumor about SK Hynix undermined perceived certainty in the AI infrastructure cycle. Key upcoming events include Thursday's PCE inflation data, which will influence Fed rate expectations, and Micron's earnings report. The market will focus on Micron's HBM gross margins and its long-term capacity guidance. The shift indicates the AI investment cycle is moving from euphoria to rational pricing. Large institutions are questioning the sustainability of AI-related capital expenditure growth. Micron's repricing from an "AI infrastructure staple" to a more cyclical stock highlights this change. Thursday's data and earnings represent a critical juncture for assessing long-term supply certainty, which has now significantly decreased.
