## The "Winner Takes All" Phenomenon on Polymarket: 30% of Users Profit but Capture 70% of the Revenue
According to the latest statistics from defioasis.eth, the Polymarket platform currently has over 1.73 million trading addresses, but the profit distribution shows a clear polarization.
**Most Users Are in Loss**
Among all participating addresses, approximately 70% have realized losses, with less than 30% of users in profit. This means that the vast majority of traders on Polymarket are losing money. Interestingly, over 63.5% of the losing addresses have relatively controlled losses, with individual accounts losing no more than $1,000. However, there are extreme cases, with 149 addresses incurring losses exceeding $1 million.
**Profits Are Concentrated in the Hands of Top Players**
Actual earnings are concentrated among a very small number of people. Only 0.0385% of top profit addresses hold over 70% of the total profits, amounting to $3.7 billion. These top users are making substantial gains through market predictions.
The remaining profitable users have limited earning potential; nearly 25% of profitable addresses are making only between $0 and $1,000, and their total profits account for less than 1% of the overall profit.
This data is based on realized gains and losses, excluding open positions, thus reflecting the actual realized profit situation.
