Why Nate Silver Joined Polymarket (Probably) with Sunny Shi | The Story
About this episode
Polymarket has been growing at a breakneck pace ever since coverage of the US election heated up - but that’s not a surprise.
Traffic, search engineer interest, volumes, will almost certainly drop after the election is over. But by how much?
Sunny Shi dove deep into Polymarket and can now tell you how strong their non-politics volumes are performing, where volumes might settle after the election, and what the risks are that might wipe away all of this summer’s success.
