Polymarket's New Fee Curve Is Quietly Taxing the Middle
· 7 min read
On March 6, 2026, Polymarket extended taker fees and maker rebates to all crypto markets, not just the short-dated contracts it started with in January. That sounds like a small product update. It isn't.
The undercovered story is that Polymarket has now made a very explicit decision about where it wants liquidity to be and how it wants makers to quote risk. If you provide liquidity, trade prediction-market crypto contracts, or study onchain market structure, this matters more than the headline.
