Polymarket In-House Trading Desk Raises Conflict Risk: Key Market Microstructure Impacts Traders Must Watch

According to the source, Polymarket is reportedly hiring an in-house team to trade against customer order flow, creating a venue-as-principal setup that can affect execution quality (source: @OKnightCrypto social post on Dec 5, 2025). The source characterizes this as a risk, highlighting potential conflicts of interest and information asymmetry that can widen spreads and increase slippage for traders (source: @OKnightCrypto social post on Dec 5, 2025). Traders should closely monitor changes in spreads, order book depth, and fill quality on Polymarket, and consider tighter slippage and position limits until clear controls and disclosures are provided (source: @OKnightCrypto social post on Dec 5, 2025). Diversifying execution across venues with transparent market-making policies can mitigate venue-specific risk highlighted by the source (source: @OKnightCrypto social post on Dec 5, 2025).
