As for its monthly gains, they sit at nearly $1.54 million. At this rate, the yearly gains could come in at approximately $18.5 million, assuming the current monthly pace is sustained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">In total, the account has made 37,247 predictions since it was opened in July 2025. With its success being nothing short of staggering, the bot also highlights the growing role of AI-driven strategies in decentralized prediction markets. Naturally, the numbers also raise questions about the legality and fairness of such an approach, as no human trader could ever match the speed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">Featured image via Shutterstock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Claude-powered trading bot has managed to turn $1 into $3.3 million on the crypto-based prediction market Polymarket&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581646,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,276,277,49,48,5272,37770,4614,52979,61,222634],"class_list":{"0":"post-581645","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-ca","12":"tag-canada","13":"tag-claude","14":"tag-crypto","15":"tag-cryptocurrency","16":"tag-polymarket","17":"tag-technology","18":"tag-trading-bot"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
