A Polymarket trader made $233K by draining liquidity from trading bots.
Saturday night. Liquidity is thin. Binance spot order books are shallow. On “XRP Up or Down — Jan 17, 12:45–1:00 PM ET” he aggressively bought UP at any price. His counterparties were trading bots. Polymarket market making is relatively straightforward, with low barriers to entry for solo devs and trading bots are now very popular. By the 10th minute of the market - XRP was down ~0.3% from the open yet he had pushed UP shares to 70¢. The bots saw an opportunity and walked straight into the trap selling him even more UP.
~77K UP accumulated at an average price of ~48¢.
Two minutes before settlement, a wallet on Binance bought ~$1M USDT of XRP spot, pushing price ~0.5% higher. Seconds after settlement, the $1M spot buy was sold back.
He ran the same play multiple times, cleaning out bot wallets by exploiting thin weekend liquidity.
