Polymarket's monthly protocol fees reached $43.36 million in April, a new all-time high that more than doubled the prior month's figure, according to data from DeFi Oasis. Annualised, that run-rate implies roughly $520 million in fees per year.
The split breaks down to $37.81 million from Polymarket Global and $5.55 million from Polymarket US. Together, the two venues captured over 97% of all fees generated across the on-chain prediction market sector in April — a near-total dominance that underscores how concentrated activity remains in a single protocol.
The surge likely reflects elevated political and macro event volume, which has historically driven spikes in prediction market activity.
