Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan has ignited a wave of speculation around a potential native POLY token for the popular blockchain-based prediction platform.
In a cryptic X post, Coplan listed POLY alongside major crypto assets like BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL, hinting that its arrival could be in the works.
If launched, the POLY token could serve as the basis for governance, liquidity incentives, and user rewards.

The speculation was further fueled by recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings from Polymarket’s parent company, Blockratize, which referenced “other warrants” that could signal advanced stages in token rollout.
Coplan’s post followed Polymarket closing a $150 million funding round at a $1.2 billion valuation, led by Founders Fund in 2025, alongside a massive $2 billion investment commitment from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).
