Polymarket lets users trade contracts based on whether real-world events will happen, with prices changing as users trade.

Despite the challenges, prediction markets reached record activity, with combined July trading volume hitting $50.6B 🔥
Polymarket's U.S. platform alone recorded around $5B in July volume, up 54% from the previous month 📊
