Polymarket Smart Money Panorama: 26 Long-Term Trackable Addresses (Categorized by Sector)

This article profiles 26 high-performing "smart money" addresses on Polymarket, categorized by their expertise in five distinct prediction market sectors. The selection criteria focused on proven Profit and Loss (PNL), a diversified winning structure (not reliant on a single bet), and high transaction volume to distinguish informed speculation from arbitrage. The addresses are broken down as follows: * **Politics & Geopolitics (5 addresses):** Experts in long-cycle macro events like Fed rates, US elections, and Middle Eastern geopolitics. They often bet against consensus (NO) in low-probability markets, achieving high ROI. * **Weather (6 addresses):** Specialists in temperature prediction markets for specific cities. Strategies range from high-frequency, small bets across thousands of markets to focused, high-conviction wagers. * **Tech (5 addresses):** Focused on Big Tech and AI product timelines (e.g., Google, OpenAI). They typically target high-probability outcomes or use a high-volume, low-cost approach on undervalued options. * **Culture (5 addresses):** Experts in movie box office results and Twitter-related markets. Strategies include betting on high-probability outcomes or taking contrarian, high-odds positions in low-probability markets. * **Sports (5 addresses):** Specialists in specific leagues like UFC, Soccer, and Tennis. They excel at identifying mispriced odds, often in medium-probability markets, and hold positions until settlement. A key warning is emphasized: a trader's success is often not transferable across sectors. An expert in sports may perform poorly in politics. The article advises followers to only mirror trades within a trader's proven area of expertise to avoid losses from their cross-sector ventures. All addresses are for reference only and not financial advice, as prediction markets carry significant risk of capital loss.

Airdrops Won't Make You Rich, edgeX Doesn't Need a Community

The decentralized perpetual contract protocol edgeX, incubated by Amber Group and backed by Circle Ventures, faced massive community backlash following its token airdrop distribution. Despite earlier promises not to screen out Sybil accounts and to distribute tokens based on points earned through trading, users discovered significant inconsistencies in token allocation. Many users reported receiving vastly different token amounts for the same number of points—some obtained 11 tokens per point, while others received as few as 0.5. Further allegations emerged, including insider trading, with reports that low-point affiliated addresses received a quarter of the total airdrop. The project worsened the situation by disabling comments on its social media channels to suppress criticism. Influential figures like Bingwa accused edgeX of being a "setup" rather than a legitimate project, designed to manipulate and exploit users. The incident has eroded trust in airdrop mechanisms, highlighting the risks of "rule changes after the fact" and the lack of transparency. As a result, user activity on edgeX plummeted, with daily new deposits dropping from over 2,000 to under 50 shortly after the airdrop snapshot. The event raises broader concerns about the sustainability of airdrop-driven engagement in DeFi, suggesting that the era of "airdrop致富" (getting rich from airdrops) may be over.

The Unchanging Foundation Through Bull and Bear Markets: On the Occasion of BitMart's 8th Anniversary

BitMart Celebrates 8 Years: A Journey of Compliance, Security, and Ecosystem Growth As the cryptocurrency industry matures, centralized exchanges (CEXs) face two major challenges: regulatory compliance and ecosystem development. BitMart, now celebrating its 8th anniversary, has established itself through a strong commitment to both. Founded in 2017 in the U.S., BitMart prioritized regulatory compliance from the start. By early 2026, it achieved full compliance across all 50 U.S. states and territories, becoming one of the few crypto exchanges operating legally nationwide. Security is another cornerstone. BitMart employs a multi-layered defense system: 99% of user assets are stored in cold wallets, MPC technology secures key management, and advanced protocols like WAF and XDR protect the platform. It also collaborates with institutional custodians and maintains a large blacklist database for AML monitoring. Ecosystem growth has been central to BitMart’s strategy. In 2025, it upgraded its trading systems, achieving ultra-low latency and high throughput. The platform listed 1,193 assets, nearly 50% of which were first listings, with 93 assets surging over 1,000%. BitMart expanded into PayFi with BitMart Card, travel bookings, P2P trading, and RWA-linked products. It also introduced AI tools like X Insight and Beacon Trading Assistant, and launched a Web3 wallet in 2026 to streamline on-chain transactions. By the end of 2025, BitMart had over 13 million users, 1,700+ trading pairs, and saw its native token BMX grow 445% in market cap. Rather than seeking shortcuts, BitMart has consistently chosen the path of long-term, sustainable growth—building trust through compliance, security, and innovation.

Odaily Interviews Aster: DEX Will Ultimately Devour the Entire Trading World, Optional Privacy is the Key Ladder

Odaily Interview with Aster: DEX Will Ultimately Devour the Trading World, Optional Privacy is the Key Ladder Aster has initiated key steps to build institutional-grade private DeFi infrastructure, marked by the launch of its Layer 1 mainnet, Aster Chain, on March 17. The mainnet offers traders fair ordering and optional privacy. This was followed by the launch of its native staking function on March 20. The project has rapidly evolved from an innovative Perp DEX into a complete infrastructure layer, achieving record-breaking trading volumes in late 2025 and a successful TGE. In an interview, CEO Leonard explained their core logic: launching a mainnet *after* securing users and revenue, not with a "cold start." This ensures every step is validated by real market demand. Aster's key differentiator is its unique "optional privacy" value proposition, implemented through a ZK + Stealth Address architecture. This allows for automatic privacy for each transaction while maintaining verifiability. The team believes this feature is a prerequisite for mass adoption and will be a primary driver for institutional use of DEXs, forming the core of their moat. Looking ahead, Aster predicts the DEX landscape will evolve into an oligopoly dominated by a few major players. The project is actively pursuing partnerships with both Web2 and Web3 entities, with significant interest from financial firms looking to build markets or list assets on its chain. For the immediate future, Aster's Q2 focus is on attracting privacy-seeking users and institutions, expanding assets and liquidity, growing its ecosystem via its developer program (Aster Code), and enhancing token utility.

BTC Market Pulse: Week 14

BTC markets showed signs of cooling and stabilization in Week 14. Spot trading volume declined, reflecting subdued demand and limited investor conviction. Derivatives markets indicated a more balanced but cautious sentiment, with futures open interest rising and funding rates firming, while perpetual swap sell-side pressure eased. Options open interest contracted sharply, pointing to reduced speculative activity. ETF flows turned negative, suggesting softening institutional demand. On-chain metrics revealed declining profitability and accelerated loss realization, though capital outflows showed early signs of easing. Overall, the market is transitioning toward a more neutral state, with reduced selling pressure laying groundwork for a potential recovery, though stronger demand is needed to confirm a sustained upward shift.

Hyperliquid Goes To University — This Study Is Now Required Reading For Traders

Hyperliquid's founder Jeff Yan visited Harvard Business School on March 26, where a case study titled "Hyperliquid: The Everything Exchange" was taught to MBA students and regulators. The study examines Hyperliquid’s architecture, governance, and risk controls, focusing on the tension between innovation and systemic risk. Key questions include who controls upgrades and emergency powers, the transparency of order-book operations, and how the platform would handle catastrophic failures. The case also compares Hyperliquid to centralized exchanges like FTX and other DeFi protocols, questioning whether its "core writer" model concentrates too much power. For traders, the study underscores that liquidation and backstop mechanisms are critical in determining loss distribution during high volatility, signaling that DeFi derivatives are now being treated as systemically important.

SIREN sings a warning even as bulls defend local support: What’s next?

AI-powered memecoin SIREN has exhibited significant volatility and bullish momentum since February, though it recently entered a corrective phase. The 3-day chart remains in a bullish trend, but the RSI is retreating from overbought levels, and trading volume has notably declined. A descending triangle pattern suggests a potential breakdown below the critical $0.78-$0.80 local support zone. If breached, this could trigger a deeper correction toward $0.70. For a sustained upward move, a high-volume breakout above $2 is necessary, but current low demand makes this unlikely. Traders are advised to wait for clearer signals, as a false breakout or further decline appears probable in the short term.

Tiger Research: What AI Services Do Crypto Companies Offer?

This Tiger Research report examines the growing trend of cryptocurrency companies integrating AI services, driven by a fear of missing out (FOMO). Unlike previous cycles, established and profitable firms like Coinbase and Binance are leading this charge, moving AI from theory to practical necessity. Key areas of AI adoption include: - **Research:** Projects like Surf are building crypto-native AI tools that aggregate fragmented on-chain and social data, providing more accurate answers than general AI models. - **Trading:** Exchanges are deploying AI to let users execute trades via natural language commands, lowering the barrier for non-developers and automating strategies. The goal is user retention in an increasingly competitive landscape. - **Security/Audit:** Firms like CertiK use AI to enhance smart contract audits by automating initial code scans and enabling post-audit, real-time monitoring, thus addressing previous security blind spots. - **Payment Infrastructure:** Protocols are emerging to enable AI agents to make autonomous payments (e.g., for APIs or services) using on-chain wallets and stablecoins. Circle’s proposed Gateway-x402 integration is a notable example, though this field is still nascent. The push is fueled by rapid AI advancements (e.g., MCP, OpenClaw) and competitive anxiety. However, the report cautions that while adoption is accelerating, the gap between offering a feature and its actual, trusted use remains significant. The motivation is strategic positioning for an AI-driven future, not just marketing.

How to Determine if a Candlestick Chart is Worth Buying in 3 Seconds

In his article, experienced crypto trader Mac shares a simplified approach to quickly evaluating whether a chart is worth buying within 3 seconds, based on market structure rather than complex indicators. He emphasizes four key rules: buy if the chart is in an uptrend (making higher highs and higher lows), avoid if it's consolidating or in a downtrend (making lower lows and lower highs), and consider buying if it's transitioning from a downtrend to an uptrend. Mac explains that market structure breaks—such as a price falling below a previous higher low in an uptrend or breaking above a previous lower high in a downtrend—signal trend changes. He uses examples like PayPal, Coinbase, and Bitcoin to illustrate these concepts, showing how structural breaks indicate shifts in market control between buyers and sellers. He also shares three critical lessons: avoid trying to "catch the bottom" in a confirmed downtrend, trust your analysis by combining technicals with fundamentals and narrative, and don't worry about entering late—just not too late, ideally after a few higher highs and higher lows confirm the trend. The goal is to improve trading odds by focusing on clear, high-timeframe trends and avoiding emotional decisions.

Bitcoin Bears Press On, Can the $60,000 Defense Line Hold? | Invited Analysis

Bitcoin faces continued bearish pressure, testing the critical $60,000 support level. The market remains in a downtrend, with BTC breaking below a short-term rising trendline and consolidating near the lower boundary of its upward channel. A break below $60,000 could confirm a C-3 wave decline. Meanwhile, HYPE shows independent strength, holding above the $36–38 support zone after a pullback, with potential for further upside if support holds. Trading strategies emphasize short-term opportunistic positions (30% capital) using scalping models, while maintaining a core bearish stance on BTC with a held short position from $89,000 (currently +24.76%). Key resistance levels for BTC are $69,500–72,000 and $74,500–76,000; supports are $65,000–66,000, $60,000–62,500, and $57,400. Risk management includes strict stop-losses and dynamic trailing stops.
