Polymarket Introduces Taker Fees on 15-Minute Crypto Markets to Boost Liquidity
Prediction market Polymarket has quietly rolled out taker fees for its 15-minute crypto markets, marking the end of its zero-fee trading model. The fees, which can reach up to 3%, aim to fund a new Maker Rebates Program designed to enhance liquidity and tighten spreads in volatile conditions.
Fees will be dynamically calculated using a curve based on market odds, rounded to four decimal places, with微小 trades at probability extremes potentially exempt due to minimum thresholds (0.0001 USDC). Daily redistributions to market makers in USDC are expected to stabilize quotations and improve execution reliability.
The MOVE follows cryptic documentation updates spotted by observers, suggesting a strategic shift toward sustainable market mechanics. Polymarket emphasized the fees' role in fostering resilience during periods of instability.
