On April 2, the prediction market platform Polymarket has begun to see the effects of its recent fee increase. Following the adjustment of its fee structure on March 30, the platform's daily fees and revenue have surged significantly. According to data from DeFiLlama, the platform's daily fees rose from approximately $363,000 on Monday to over $1 million on both Wednesday and Thursday; net revenue, after deducting incentive expenses, peaked at $995,000 on Wednesday before dropping to around $899,000 on Thursday.

This revenue spike is attributed to a new fee model implemented on Monday: Polymarket expanded its trading fees from cryptocurrency and sports events to include finance, politics, economics, culture, weather, and technology, with only geopolitical and major global events transactions exempt from fees. 

This dramatic increase in revenue indicates that, amid regulatory scrutiny in the U.S., Europe, and other parts of the world, Polymarket is actively monetizing through trading to maintain ongoing investor interest. Last week, the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, invested $600 million in Polymarket.

On April 2, geopolitical tensions escalated again, driving oil prices up by 10%.

According to U.Today, Solana investors are bracing themselves for an upcoming surge in selling pressure caused by the release of 80 million SOL coins from staking contracts. Luckily, the market was not hit with a one-time injection of the aforementioned sum, and whales will most likely redistribute them evenly across various trading platforms. According to the volume profile on the asset, retail traders are no longer trading the asset as they did prior to the massive crash. The most likely reason is the aforementioned 80 million SOL floating on the market and waiting to get dropped on the heads of investors. It is not clear yet if the massive selling volume will be absorbed by some entity on the market or will be redistributed among retail investors.
