Researchers uncovered $40 million in exploitable pricing inefficiencies across crypto prediction platforms, with Polymarket serving as the primary case study. The year-long analysis revealed systemic mismatches between complementary contracts—where 'Yes' and 'No' shares failed to aggregate to their theoretical $1 parity—creating guaranteed profits for algorithmic traders.

These arbitrage windows extended beyond simple binary markets. Correlated contracts like 'Trump wins presidency' and 'Republican wins presidency' traded at illogical spreads, allowing combinatorial strategies to extract value. While Polymarket dominated the findings, platforms like Myriad and Kalshi likely harbor similar inefficiencies.
