> **Visual Note:** The image is a GoldRush bar chart showing Polymarket's weekly notional trading volume over a 90-day period, with bars consistently around $900M–$1.1B from mid-July through early October 2025. The visual confirms the post's claim of twelve straight weeks at or above ~$931M, highlighting sustained ~$1B weekly volume rather than spikes, supporting the narrative of consistent activity totaling over $13B since July.  

> 
> "Twelve straight weeks. Every one above $931M in volume.

Polymarket has crossed $13B since July 18, with weekly activity holding around $1B instead of depending on a single breakout week.

The consistency is the story."
