Recent industry discussions have mentioned the current state of the prediction market sector, sparking some reflections. Speaking of prediction markets, you'll find that this area is still in its early stages, with a serious lack of liquidity standing out as a major issue. Market makers are in short supply, and currently platforms like Polymarket rely on just one or two market makers to support them. Just think about how fragile that is—most trading activity is concentrated in sports-related markets, while other categories of prediction markets are basically scattered and sparse. This situation indicates that for prediction markets to truly take off, they need to address deeper liquidity issues and attract more participants and market makers to enter the space.

Oh no, Polymarket is only supported by one or two market makers? That's too fragile... It seems like we'll have to wait a long time for the prediction markets to develop.

Relying on just one or two market makers? This is a gambler's paradise, where any big investor placing a large order can manipulate the price.

Polymarket is like this now, relying on a few market makers to support it... How dangerous is that?

Polymarket's one or two market makers really held it up, I couldn't help but laugh. This is a classic paper tiger... Liquidity is poor, trading depth is shallow to death, how do you play?

ngl polymarket's liquidity crisis is exactly why most people still don't get prediction markets... like yeah sports betting dominates because that's what normies understand, but the infrastructure is just too fragile rn. one or two mms carrying the whole thing? that's not a market, that's a joke. genuine network effects haven't even kicked in yet imo

Oh no, it's another liquidity issue... That mess of a platform Polymarket really depends on market makers, feels like it's going to collapse at any moment.

Polymarket is supported by one or two market makers? No wonder the liquidity is so poor. People playing sports events have crowded out other markets, leaving them all barren.
