Polymarket, the world's largest prediction market, has started charging fees! Behind this lies a sobering struggle over regulation, survival, and timing.

The current crypto market is in a crucial transitional phase. After months of correction, Bitcoin has recently rebounded slightly and retested a key support level it had previously breached. However, overall, the market recovery remains fragile, and the trend remains vulnerable. Accumulating macroeconomic pressures, weakening liquidity, and approaching key policy events are causing a shift in market pricing logic.
