Hacking Polymarket

by Larry Chiang on January 18, 2026

– A Polymarket trader (@a4385) netted $233,929 in profits across five 15-minute XRP and Bitcoin up/down markets by accumulating cheap “UP” shares during thin weekend liquidity, then spiking spot prices on Binance with $1M USDT buys just before settlement to ensure wins.
– The strategy exploited trading bots that sold “UP” shares at inflated prices (up to 70¢ despite XRP down 0.3% initially), costing the trader only ~$6,200 in slippage and fees per trade, as shown in position screenshots revealing average costs of 45-60¢ per share.

– This “Wolf of Wall Street”-style play drained bot liquidity pools, prompting shutdowns and exposing risks in automated market making on prediction platforms, with community reactions praising the ingenuity while highlighting broader manipulation concerns in crypto derivatives.

A Polymarket trader ran a Wolf of Wall Street–level play overnight – made $233K by drained liquidity from trading bots and it flew completely under the radar.

The setup was brilliant and extremely simple.
