Polymarket Confirms Native POLY Token and Airdrop Plans Amid US Relaunch
Polymarket's Chief Marketing Officer has officially confirmed the development of a native POLY token and accompanying airdrop, aligning with the platform's US app relaunch. "There will be a token, there will be an airdrop," the CMO stated, emphasizing deliberate design for long-term utility rather than rushed execution. Market participants have already begun adjusting their platform behavior in anticipation of potential eligibility.
Despite growing speculation fueled by founder Shane Coplan's earlier hints, prediction markets currently assign less than 30% probability to a 2025 token launch. The company maintains its immediate priority is stabilizing US operations before introducing the token. "There's no need to rush a token when the US rollout comes first," the executive noted, suggesting 2026 as a more likely timeframe.
