Bots Are Quietly Dominating Polymarket’s Fastest Crypto Bets
-

Automation is rapidly reshaping Polymarket, especially in ultra-short-term crypto markets tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Analysts have documented bots exploiting brief pricing lags between Polymarket contracts and spot exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, repeatedly buying mispriced odds before the market can adjust.
One standout example reportedly turned a few hundred dollars into hundreds of thousands by executing thousands of small, high-probability trades. Rather than predicting price direction, these bots focus on timing and probability mismatches, producing steady, linear profits while human traders struggle to react quickly enough.
