Polymarket prediction markets continue to be hot this week, with total trading volume surpassing $85 million, setting a new two-week high.

The veteran creator betmoar still holds the top spot, but as more participants join, its market share has slipped to just over 40%. The ecosystem shows a clear differentiation trend—Polycule, which fell out of favor due to security issues, has ceded market space to a new star, PolyCop, focused on Copy Trading mode. This week, its trading volume surged to $9.3 million, capturing 11% of the market share, rising rapidly.

What’s more noteworthy is that the total number of creators on Polymarket has exceeded 100, indicating that ecosystem activity is continuing to heat up, with more and more players entering this track.

Damn, betmoar is about to be overshadowed. PolyCop only a few days in and already hitting 11%. Copy Trading really works. This wave of ecosystem activity is on the rise; it feels like just the beginning. 100 creators is the base number. Polymarket trading volume surpasses 85 million, the prediction market is really taking off. betmoar's dominance is waning, and new players are entering at a rapid pace. PolyCop is leveraging copy trading to overtake in a curve, still has some skills. Suddenly remembered the Polycule crash; security issues really serve as a warning. The track's popularity is up, now just see how long this wave can last.

PolyCop this move is really awesome, going directly from zero to 11%, outperforming some older projects. But betmoar still has 40%, the Matthew effect is quite obvious. 100 creators? The ecosystem is finally taking shape, it was really quiet before. 85 million weekly trading volume, this is indeed heating up, just not sure how long it will last. How can betmoar still maintain its leading position? I really can't figure it out... When Polycule crashed, I knew Copy Trading would take advantage of the situation, and sure enough. This wave of participants has surged, will there be a bunch of scam products with high IQ taxes later?

PolyCop this move is really awesome, it directly rose from the ashes of Polycule. betmoar was quite heavily divided, 40% still considered a top project? 100 creators breaking through, indicating this market is indeed heating up. 85 million in trading volume is nothing special, just see how high it can soar later. Copy Trading mode is so popular, it seems the risk is coming along with it. Polycule crashed due to security issues, does anyone still dare to do prediction markets now? This week's data looks good, but don't get carried away, remember the lessons from the last wave. Market segmentation is accelerating, new players have a chance to enter.

PolyCop this move is really awesome, $9.3 million was spent in just one week, some people are still buying into copy trading strategies betmoar is still the leader, but it’s been heavily divided... the market is really fluid Has the creator surpassed 100? This ecosystem is quite something, becoming more and more like a casino haha Weekly trading volume of $85 million... the Federal Reserve would be crying if they saw this Newcomers are so fierce, betmoar needs to tighten up, who knows when they might be overtaken That drop in Polycule was really brutal, but it seems the market’s resilience is pretty good, it quickly recovered This rhythm... feels like Polymarket is about to rise

polycop's 11% in a week is straight up market inefficiency arbitrage in action... betmoar losing dominance faster than i expected tbh. that 100+ creators milestone though? ngl this smells like liquidity fragmentation brewing, classic sign before the entropy spike hits

PolyCop's recent surge is truly outrageous, reaching $9.3 million in a week and hitting 11%. It seems that copy trading is indeed a necessity. The throne of betmoar has shaken, but isn't that good for the ecosystem? Competition is what sparks innovation. 100 creators have broken through, indicating that Polymarket is really coming back to life. However, I wonder how long these new players can sustain. $85 million weekly trading volume remains steady. The sector still has heat, as long as safety issues don't cause a collapse. PolyCop's quick positioning—did you guys spot the vulnerabilities in Polycule early on? Old players are declining, new players are rising, the ecosystem is rotating... Is this really a genuine shift or just another bubble?

Haha betmoar goes from exclusive to 40%, this is what "the higher you go, the colder it gets" means. A hundred creators rush in, who can still monopolize? PolyCop directly crushes through copy trading, $9.3 million in a week... This pace is a bit frightening, it feels like history is repeating itself. Bearish signals? Or bottom consensus? Brothers, you can figure it out yourselves. I’ve been educated by the market too many times. This round of market prediction is really breaking the deadlock, but don’t get too excited. The lesson from Polycule’s past is right in front of us.

betmoar's position is still stable, but 40% is indeed a bit risky. With the ecosystem so competitive, who can still dominate? PolyCop's move was excellent. The moment copy trading launched, it took 11%, which is a real example of overtaking on a bend. Creator surpassing 100? That's quite interesting. Polymarket is on the rise. An 85 million trading volume sounds pretty impressive, but it depends whether it's real money or just hype. New players should think carefully before entering; this thing carries significant risks. Polycule's recent struggles were indeed tough. Security issues are truly a matter of life and death. How long can this hot streak last? Will it turn into chaos again? Increased differentiation is actually a good thing. Competition pushes everyone to improve, better than a monopoly.

85 million USD this cycle, trading volume hit a new high but betmoar's share dropped to 40%, indicating market diversification... PolyCop's new star with 9.3 million USD in one week, this growth rate is quite aggressive, we need to watch whether it's short-term hype or genuine vitality. From historical data, every time the number of creators breaks through a key point, it often signals a bottoming out. The scale of 100 creators reminds me of the 2017 ICO boom, which also looked prosperous at the time, but then... However, speaking of which, the fact that Copy Trading can survive in a decentralized market shows that the market is indeed optimizing its structure. I'm just worried that PolyCop's surge is a fleeting moment, and it might be knocked back to its original form next week. Everyone, don't be fooled by short-term breakthroughs, pay more attention to risk exposure.
