Which one should you pick?
Pick Polymarket US if
You live in the US outside Nevada and want Polymarket in a regulated app with dollar deposits.
Polymarket's regulated twin for Americans: same brand, but a separate CFTC-regulated exchange with dollar accounts, identity checks and its own fee formula. Since 19 October 2026 its taker fee is almost exactly Kalshi's, and it serves no one outside the US.

Pick Predict.fun if
You trade on BNB Chain and want a low fee at 50¢ with yield on your open positions.
The second-largest on-chain venue after Polymarket on DefiLlama: a central order book on BNB Chain, a taker fee that peaks at 2% at 50¢, and Venus yield on open positions. Its terms name the operator, PDF Labs, under British Virgin Islands law, and exclude the US, the UK and France.
