Polymarket Sets Record for New Market Creations in April, Active Traders Decline
According to a report by Jinse Finance, data from The Block shows that the creation of new markets on Polymarket reached an all-time high in April, with over 7,000 prediction markets launched, a 20.7% increase from March's 5,800. Despite the surge in market creation, the number of active traders has decreased from 462,000 in January to 330,000 in April, and trading volume has stabilized, with total bets in April amounting to less than $900 million, down from $2.6 billion in January. The report suggests that this may indicate a shift in the user base towards more centralized market creators.

BUZZ - Goldman Sachs says the price cap on cancer drugs has limited impact on Indian hospitals
October 9 – Goldman Sachs pointed out that India's implementation of a 30% profit margin cap on non-scheduled anticancer drugs (link) will have limited impact on hospitals. The report states that, based on preliminary discussions with hospital chain groups, such drugs account for less than 5% of hospital revenue and 2% to 2.5% of operating profit. The report adds that hospitals can offset the losses by slightly adjusting service charges, such as administration fees. According to a government notice, an expert committee will finalize the list of drugs to be brought under regulation. Driven by the anticipated price cap, the share prices of Max Healthcare MAXE.NS, Apollo Hospitals APLH.NS, and Fortis Healthcare FOHE.NS rose by 1.6% to 2.5%. Previously, since September 30, these stocks had collectively declined by 11% to 11.5%. Year-to-date, FOHE and MAXE are down 11.7% and 14.8%, respectively, while APLH has risen by 11%.
