Last week marked Polymarket highest trading volume week since the 2024 U.S. elections but with a very different composition.Back then, politics (mostly US Election) made up over 75% of total activity.
Now, Polymarket market mix has shifted:
- Sports leads with 42% of total volume,
- Crypto has risen to #2 with 26%,
- Politics has dropped to ~21%, its lowest share since mid-2023.The shift signals a broader user base and diversification of use cases beyond election-driven spikes.As new categories reach critical mass in users, volume, and open interest, it’s also expectable that new tools and specialized clients will emerge for example, sports-focused markets or binary options/derivatives platforms built on Polymarket infrastructure.Dashboard: https://dune.com/sealaunch/polymarket-volume-per-category

There’s an obvious intersection between onchain data analysis and crypto content as the market matures.VCs are launching podcasts. Builders are publishing content. Everyone is competing for attention and attention is distribution.As the space evolves, onchain data becomes the stronger signal, better than narratives alone.Those who anchor their content and storytelling in onchain data and deeper analysis will stand out.

Echo has helped raise $140M+ from 9k investors across ~340 onchain deals. The largest raise so far was Mega ETH with a $10M round.
With Coinbase acquiring Echo, the scale and distribution of onchain fundraising are set to grow exponentially.Onchain can become the native venue for capital formation, turning the internet into global, permissionless capital markets.Dashboard: https://dune.com/sealaunch/echoxyz-early-stage-investing-in-startups-and-tokens
