Polymarket details breach repayments and compensation tied to trading disruption

Polymarket said 689 of 726 wallets affected by the breach on its international exchange have been refunded in full, with the remaining 37 being paid as each is verified, and 1.19 million dollars is going to about 5,500 wallets that lost money during the trading pause or had positions taken.

Polymarket said it has fully reimbursed 689 of the 726 wallets affected by a breach on its international exchange, according to PokerStrategy. Repayments for the remaining 37 wallets are proceeding as each is verified.

Two groups of affected wallets

The update, published Oct 31, 2026 · 9:00 PM ET, describes both reimbursement for breached wallets and compensation for losses associated with disrupted trading.

According to PokerStrategy, Polymarket is directing 1.19 million dollars to about 5,500 wallets that lost money during its trading pause or had positions taken.

Those payments have a different scope from the full refunds reported for 689 breached wallets. The supplied summary does not specify whether the two groups overlap or how the 1.19 million dollars is allocated among recipients.

Verification remains unfinished

The outstanding breach repayments depend on wallet-by-wallet verification. The summary provides no completion date for the remaining 37 wallets.

For prediction-market participants, the update therefore distinguishes completed breach refunds from payments still being processed and the broader compensation effort tied to the trading disruption.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Repayment status matters: Full reimbursement is reported for 689 breached wallets, while 37 remain subject to verification.
  • Trading interruptions can have separate consequences: The 1.19 million dollars addresses wallets that lost money during the pause or had positions taken, rather than only the breach refunds.
  • Payment details remain limited: The summary does not establish individual compensation amounts, overlap between recipient groups or a deadline for outstanding refunds.
