Gate News message: On April 9, crypto analyst Andrey Sergeenkov released data on Monday (April 7) showing that only 0.015% of Polymarket traders are able to consistently generate monthly income of more than $5,000 for four consecutive months. The data shows that nearly 1% of traders were profitable by more than $5,000 in a single month, but only 0.1% can repeat that result in the following month. Among roughly 2.5 million wallets, only 840 wallets have accumulated profits exceeding $100k, and those include trading accounts belonging to professional institutions such as hedge funds. Among traders with stronger profitability, most also do not stay on the platform long term. Of the wallet addresses that were profitable in 6,600 months with more than $5,000, only 172 remain active for more than a year, accounting for 2.6%. Sergeenkov said that most traders leave immediately after short-term trading. This analysis only counts realized profit and loss, and the data covers April 2024 through April 1, 2026.
