Polymarket functions as a decentralised exchange for prediction contracts tied to real-world outcomes. Picture it as an equity exchange reimagined for future events — political races, sporting competitions, macroeconomic indicators, digital asset valuations. Each contract resolves to either $1 (affirmative outcome) or $0 (negative outcome), settled exclusively in USDC.

Tax Implications for German Traders
German tax law classifies prediction market earnings as sonstige Einkünfte (miscellaneous income) once annual gains surpass €256. Individual circumstances warrant consultation with a qualified German tax specialist (Steuerberater). PolyGram exports transaction records as CSV files to streamline compliance documentation.
