Polymarket Introduces 4% Annualized Rewards to Stabilize Long-Term Prediction Markets

Polymarket has launched a new incentive program aimed at stabilizing its long-running prediction markets, offering up to 4% annualized rewards for selected positions. The platform now boasts the highest interest rates among prediction market applications, with payouts distributed daily to encourage prolonged participation.

Eligible markets include high-volume political predictions such as the 2028 US Presidential election and midterm results. Positions are monitored hourly, with returns calculated based on the annualized rate. For instance, a $20,400 position WOULD yield $0.09 per hour.

The initiative seeks to enhance market accuracy by discouraging frequent position shifts. Polymarket's focus on election-related and current-event markets reflects their historical volatility and trader activity.
