Availability: Polymarket Perps is not available in the United States or Canada and several other jurisdictions. US users are directed to the regulated Polymarket US product. Check availability where you live before depositing.
⚠️ Not financial advice: odds swing hard on news. Never bet money you can't afford to lose, and always read a market's resolution rules before trading.
