How do I trade crypto markets on Polymarket?

Polymarket isn't in our curated directory (it's a prediction market, not a CEX or standard DEX), so here's how it works based on general knowledge — treat it as background, not live-verified data.

What Polymarket actually is: a prediction market built on Polygon where you don't buy a token — you buy shares in yes/no markets (e.g. "Will ETH be above $4,000 by March?"). Share prices run from $0 to $1 and represent the market's implied probability, so a share priced at $0.55 means the crowd puts ~55% odds on "yes." If your side wins, each share pays out $1; if it loses, it goes to $0.

How to trade on it:

1. Fund your account — deposit USDC. You can bridge USDC from Ethereum (or another chain) into Polymarket's Polygon wallet, or use its fiat on-ramp to buy USDC directly with a card/bank transfer. No traditional "buy order" against a crypto pair here.
2. Pick a market — browse crypto markets (BTC/ETH price at a date, ETF approvals, regulation, etc.). Each shows current Yes and No prices.
3. Buy shares — you can buy Yes at the ask, No at the bid, or place limit orders in the order book. Because prices are between $0 and $1, your max loss per share is what you paid, and max gain is capped at $1.
4. Hold or trade out — you can hold until resolution, or sell your shares early at the current price (that's the actual trading — buying when you think the odds are wrong, selling before the event resolves).
5. Withdraw — redeemed USDC back out once markets resolve.

Key things to know:

• It's a market on outcome probability, not directional crypto trading — you're making a judgment about what an event's outcome will be, not betting on price up/down per se.
• Fees and spreads differ from a CEX; there are trading fees on taking liquidity.
• This isn't financial advice — prediction markets carry real risk, and you can lose your full stake on a market.

One note on framing: Polymarket is a platform/app, not a coin, so it isn't something I can look up the price, market cap, or on-chain security for with our tools. If you're actually looking for where to trade crypto directionally (spot or perps) instead, I can pull up real exchange/tool listings — just say which and I'll check the directory.
