What Is Polymarket?

Consider it analogous to equity markets, except the underlying assets are real-world occurrences—political contests, sporting fixtures, financial indicators, digital asset valuations. Each contract resolves to either $1 (affirmative outcome) or $0 (negative outcome), settled via USDC.

Tax Implications for German Traders
German tax authorities classify prediction market winnings as sonstige Einkünfte (miscellaneous income) when annual gains surpass €256.
