This sharp repricing reflects increased confidence in Moonshot’s prospects within Chinese AI development.
Whale activity tracked closely with the price move, as $7K net flowed into YES positions over the same period.

Despite the strong price rally on Polymarket, the Polydata on-chain mid-price for YES stands lower at 41.5%, highlighting some divergence between the platform’s live market price and underlying on-chain data.
