Polymarket Starts Charging Fees on Geopolitical Event Trades

The shift matters less for the fee itself than for where Polymarket draws the line: market orders pay, limit orders do not. That structure nudges flow toward resting liquidity, which could change how tightly geopolitical contracts are quoted. It also puts the platform's own documentation out of step with live trading pages, leaving users to infer the new terms from the interface. Whether the fee is a lasting feature of this category or a narrow test is the open question.
