Polymarket links briefly showed up in Google News search results alongside established outlets before disappearing. Google told The Verge the inclusion was a mistake and that the sites are no longer appearing in Google News. Before the removal, some event-driven searches listed Polymarket markets beneath mainstream coverage. For example, Futurism reported a query about ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz returned a Polymarket market predicting vessel passage alongside reports from Reuters and The Guardian; a later search by Cointelegraph did not show the Polymarket result.
Polymarket has been expanding its integrations with major platforms. Last year Google added data from Polymarket and rival Kalshi to Google Finance. In June, X named Polymarket its official prediction-market partner to integrate forecasts into the platform. MetaMask said it will integrate Polymarket as part of a push beyond a crypto wallet, and World App, the wallet and identity product from Sam Altman’s World project, also added the Polymarket app.
Analysis of trader returns suggests consistent profits are rare. Crypto analyst Andrey Sergeenkov found roughly 1% of Polymarket traders recorded more than $5,000 in profit in a single month, while only about 0.015% sustained that level for four consecutive months. Just 0.033% of wallets have exceeded $100,000 in total profits, and some of those are likely professional traders rather than retail participants. Overall, despite growing interest in prediction markets, most users struggle to generate steady, long-term profits.
