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%. The stock market faced pressure, the dollar strengthened, and widespread risk aversion swept through the market, leading to a decline in cryptocurrencies. Funding rates turned significantly negative, while open interest increased, indicating that traders are actively shorting Bitcoin and Ethereum; the total liquidation amount across the network approached $400 million. Despite the price drop, implied volatility in the options market remained stable, showing that investors continue to buy downside protection rather than engaging in panic selling.

According to monitoring by 1M AI News, an analysis article published by Axios states that the AI competition is increasingly resembling a capital allocation problem rather than a model competition. Computing power procurement needs to be locked in one to two years in advance; over-purchasing can lead to bankruptcy, while under-purchasing risks losing customers. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated in the Dwarkesh Podcast that if procurement is based on a 10-fold annual growth rate but only achieves 5-fold or is delayed by a year, 'there is no hedging tool in the world that can prevent bankruptcy.' While the unit cost of computing power is indeed decreasing, the demand is rising even faster, leading to a continuous increase in total expenditure, which is a classic case of the Jevons Paradox. The article points out that currently, no one has answered this question correctly. Anthropic chooses restraint, preferring to limit flow and lose customers rather than over-purchase, avoiding peak user training tasks; OpenAI opts for an aggressive approach, making significant investments in computing power. Both strategies come with costs: Anthropic's paying users frequently encounter flow limits and interruptions, with Dylan Patel from semiconductor analysis firm SemiAnalysis warning that they may be forced to turn to lower-quality computing power; OpenAI's spending discipline has already been reflected in the secondary market, with investors shifting from OpenAI to Anthropic. This year, capital expenditures on AI by large-scale cloud providers are expected to approach $700 billion, and even at this record level, the industry's supply of computing power still cannot keep up with demand. The closer it gets to an IPO, the harder it becomes to conceal the answer to this question.
