The crypto world is buzzing again.

Polymarket’s marketing director, Matthew Modabber, has officially confirmed plans to launch the platform’s native POLY token — and with it, a long-anticipated airdrop that has traders excited across the globe.
In a recent interview, Modabber said the team’s goal isn’t to rush a token release but to create something with real utility and lasting value.
“Yes, there will be a token. Yes, there will be an airdrop,” Modabber said.

“We could have launched it anytime, but we want it to be a token with true purpose and longevity — something that lasts forever. That’s our goal, and it’s what the community expects from us.”


The POLY Hype Is Building
The buzz began when founder Shane Coplan hinted at a potential token launch — sparking a wave of speculation and strategic trading among Polymarket users hoping to qualify for the airdrop.
However, the exact timeline remains uncertain.

Prediction market analysts estimate that the odds of a token launch before the end of 2025 are below 30%, suggesting a more realistic window in 2026.
For now, Modabber says the company’s top priority is the full U.S. relaunch.
“There’s no need to rush the token when the U.S. rollout is the main focus,” he explained.

Kalshi vs. Polymarket: The Battle for the Prediction Market Crown
While the Polymarket community speculates about airdrops, its chief rival Kalshi is gaining momentum.

According to on-chain data, Kalshi recorded $2.9 billion in trading volume last month — double Polymarket’s $1.4 billion.
A key factor is regulation. Kalshi’s CFTC license makes it the only fully regulated U.S. prediction market, attracting institutional traders who prefer compliance and stability.
Meanwhile, Polymarket continues to expand beyond the crypto niche —

it has partnered with DraftKings and signed a multi-year licensing deal with the NHL, signaling its growing influence in both sports and mainstream prediction markets.

Funding and Soaring Valuation
Reports indicate that Polymarket is negotiating a funding round worth up to $15 billion, following a $2 billion investment from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) — the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.

That deal boosted Polymarket’s valuation to $9 billion, up from $1.2 billion after a $150 million round led by Founders Fund in June.

POLY Token Could Redefine the Market
The community is eagerly awaiting the arrival of POLY, which could reward long-term users and cement Polymarket’s dominance among prediction platforms.
Whether POLY launches in 2025 or later, one thing is clear — its debut could reshape the prediction market landscape and push Polymarket to the forefront of Web3 innovation.
