Polymarket's Trading Volume Dispute Clarified Amid Competitive Tensions

According to ChainCatcher, AI agency platform Bankr's co-founder, known as deployer, addressed concerns regarding the alleged 'double counting' of trading volumes. He clarified that the issue stems from the data collection methods of third-party panels, not from any inherent flaws in Polymarket's data. deployer highlighted that Paradigm's amplification of the controversy and negative interpretation of Polymarket is influenced by its investment in Kalshi, indicating a competitive bias. He criticized these actions as 'purposeful and underhanded,' suggesting that Paradigm's motives are to discredit a competitor. Previously, ChainCatcher reported that Paradigm's founder claimed a data bug in Polymarket led to repeated counting of trading volumes in most public data.
