What is the most interesting phenomenon in the Polygon ecosystem in 2025? My answer is that prediction markets are truly becoming an engine for information discovery.

Take Polymarket as an example. USDC on this platform is not only a tool for betting but also a medium for continuously optimizing information. Betting funds automatically flow toward the side closer to the truth, and the probability curves adjust in real-time. You will find that the response speed of this market mechanism often surpasses traditional media news reports—markets are already pricing in information before the media begins to interpret it.

Data strongly supports this point. Last year, Polymarket on the Polygon chain completed a settlement volume of $26.8 billion in USDC. This is not just a figure representing trading volume, but also reflects how much real capital is voting with their feet, constantly correcting expectations about event outcomes.

This is actually the most interesting application scenario resulting from the combination of stablecoins, prediction markets, and blockchain infrastructure.
