Polymarket is considering creating its own stablecoin because it wants to enhance its platform’s revenue generation.
The crypto-based prediction market is considering either launching its own custom stable coin or entering into a revenue-sharing deal with Circle, which issues USDC.

It aims to seize the yield of Circle’s existing stablecoin reserves. As every trade has been settled i USDC on the Polygon network, Polymarket has a good reason to retain that capital in the system.
Stablecoin Plans and Regulatory Advantage
The increase in activity on Polymarket led to stable USDC flows within the marketplace. However, Circle has been said to have started disengaging revenue-sharing agreements to remain competitive. This change strengthens Polymarket’s argument to release its token.
One of the sources who was aware of the situation claimed it would be easier to introduce a native stablecoin in Polymarket than a platform operating in open settings. This form of the company is based on a closed ecosystem, so there is no necessity for external ramps and more possibilities to control internal transfers.
The new stablecoin bills in the US have also encouraged issuance by crypto-native companies and even traditional legacy players. Polymarket’s latest legal clarity gives it more advantages when weighing a proprietary stablecoin.
User Growth and Ecosystem Expansion
Polymarket has experienced a tremendous increase in traffic and volume in terms of trading. According to SimilarWeb reports, there were almost 16 million visits in May. In the last election cycle alone, the platform took more than 8 billion worth of bets, and in May alone, over a billion worth of traffic within the platform.
There are 20,000 to 30,000 traders on a daily basis. The platform transferred 2.5 billion in a month after Donald Trump won re-election in November 2024. The high activity caused USDC transfers and the use of bridges to escalate.
Polymarket will also advance its reward/Oracle-resolution system to facilitate user involvement. The Election Holding of Rewards game will change layouts to enhance pricing accuracy and allow users to migrate to the new 2028 Election Holding Rewards program.
Regulatory Moves and Strategic Acquisition
Polymarket is trying to improve its legal standing within the US further. In a deal valued at 112 million dollars, the company will purchase a CFTC-approved exchange cum clearinghouse, QCEX. This takeover would open up to regulated operations in the US.
The relocation is done after recent civil and criminal inquiries were closed into the company’s services to consumers in the USA. Since its introduction, the platform has received over $14 billion worth of trades.
