Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan has reignited speculation about a potential native token launch, hinting that a $POLY token could soon join the ranks of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
On October 9, Coplan suggested that the fast-growing prediction market platform may soon take a major step toward decentralization through a token release.
The comment immediately sparked excitement across crypto circles, with many users interpreting it as the strongest signal yet that a launch is on the horizon.
Polymarket has rapidly become one of the most popular venues for betting on real-world events, including politics, sports, and macroeconomic outcomes. The platform’s onchain structure allows users to trade event outcomes as liquid assets, reflecting market sentiment in real time.
Airdrop Rumors Add to Anticipation
This isn’t the first time Polymarket has hinted at a token. In November 2024, the company teased a possible airdrop for active users, potentially rewarding those who have placed or redeemed winning bets on the platform. While no official details have been confirmed, speculation about eligibility and snapshot dates has intensified as the platform’s user base expands.
