Questions
FAQ
Do you have data from major crypto events like the Bitcoin ETF approval?+
Yes. Markets around the January 2024 Bitcoin spot ETF approval are in the archive with full price, metrics, and order book history. These were some of the most actively traded Polymarket markets ever — great for studying how prediction markets priced a known event.
Beyond BTC and ETH, what other tokens have Polymarket markets?+
Coverage shifts over time, but we've seen markets on Solana price levels, XRP regulatory outcomes, Ethereum ETF approval, and various protocol-specific events. Use the /markets search to explore current and historical coverage.
Do you include Crypto 5 Minutes Up or Down and Crypto 15 Minutes Up or Down markets?+
Yes. Those fast-cycle crypto markets are included, with the same historical prices, metrics, and order book snapshots as other crypto markets. You can query them directly by slug or discover them through /markets search.
How correlated are Polymarket crypto markets with the actual spot price?+
That's an empirical question you can answer with this data — pull the prediction market price history and align it with spot data from another source. Researchers have found interesting lead/lag dynamics worth studying, especially around news events.
Are high-volume crypto markets liquid enough to make the order book data meaningful?+
It varies significantly by market and time period. Major BTC/ETH price markets during active events had strong depth. Niche or low-activity markets were thinner. Use the metrics endpoint to check spread and volume before building a strategy around a specific market.
