[Paradigm's Head of Data Claims Polymarket's Trading Volume is 'Inflated,' Community Accuses Paradigm of Smearing Competitors] BlockBeats News, December 9: Paradigm's Head of Data, @notnotstorm, posted today stating that the trading volume on the prediction platform Polymarket has issues with double counting, leading to 'inflated' trading volume data. This statement sparked widespread criticism within the crypto community, accusing Paradigm of amplifying the controversy and interpreting Polymarket negatively due to Paradigm's vested interest as an investor in Kalshi, which creates a clear competitive bias. Bankr co-founder deployer stated that the issue of 'double counting' trading volume stems from the data collection methods of third-party dashboards, rather than any flaws in Polymarket's own data. He emphasized that Polymarket's trading volume records do not have any fundamental errors. Dragonfly's Head of Data, @hildobby, also commented, 'At least starting from 2024, all decent data dashboards have already accounted for this issue.'
