PANews January 8 News, PANews recently analyzed 295,000 historical market data points from the Polymarket platform. The data shows:
- More than 60% of short-term markets have become “zombies”: among active markets with a cycle of less than 1 day, 63.16% of contracts had a 24-hour trading volume of 0.
- Lack of liquidity in crypto short-term trading: the average trading volume in short-term sports markets ($1.32 million) is 30 times higher than in crypto ($44,000), indicating a lack of capital support for crypto short-term predictions.
- Extreme head effect: only 505 super contracts with a trading volume of over $10 million (a very small proportion) account for 47% of the total trading volume across the platform.
- Large funds favor long-term: the average liquidity for long-term predictions (>30 days) is 45 times that of single-day markets, with U.S. political predictions leading at an average of $28.17 million.
- Geopolitical rise: this sector accounts for 29.7% of active engagement, becoming the fastest-growing track.
Data indicates that Polymarket is differentiating into “high-frequency sports betting” and “macro political hedging,” with liquidity highly concentrated in a very small number of top narratives.

Why did Bitcoin drop today? Trump extends Iran ceasefire period by 10 days, negotiations face disagreements.
U.S. President Trump extends the ceasefire period with Iran until April 6, but Iranian officials deny the request, leading to continued market pessimism about the prospects of negotiations. As the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rises to 4.42%, the attractiveness of high-risk assets like Bitcoin diminishes, preventing a rebound and instead continuing to face selling pressure. The market is sensitive to liquidity conditions, and in the short term, attention should be paid to the direction of yields and spot demand.
