This launch allows traders to bet on short-term price movements for major cryptocurrencies with high frequency, all powered and secured by Chainlink, the leading decentralized oracle network.
The update represents a significant step for the platform, catering to both active traders and crypto enthusiasts looking to engage with fast-moving markets.
What 15-Minute Polymarkets Mean
Polymarkets work like traditional prediction markets, where users place bets on future events. The difference with the new 15-minute crypto markets is speed. Traders can make predictions on whether the price of a cryptocurrency will go up or down over very short intervals, offering near real-time engagement. Chainlink provides the secure data feeds that determine outcomes, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
Short-term markets like these have become increasingly popular in traditional finance as well. For example, some day traders use minute-by-minute options or futures to capitalize on small price swings. By offering similar opportunities in the crypto space, Polymarket is making these strategies accessible to a broader audience without requiring complex derivatives or institutional accounts.
