Polymarket will impose a take-in fee on almost all transaction categories, with peak cryptocurrency-related contract rates reaching 1.8%

Forecasting market platform Polymarket announced a major policy change that will impose Taker fees on almost all trading categories for the first time starting March 30. The new fee structure adopts variable rates, with peak rates for contracts related to cryptocurrencies as high as 1.8%, and actual fees will show a curve based on share prices and market dynamics. Lower tiered rates are used for sports, finance, politics, culture, weather and general categories, while higher peak rates are forecast for mention categories and certain economic categories, at about 1.5%.<br /> It is worth noting that geopolitics is the only category that is completely free of fees, highlighting Polymarket's strategic focus on high-risk global events. The change ends Polymarket's long-standing "zero-fee" appeal.
