Shayne Coplan, founder of the leading prediction platform Polymarket, shared a semi-cryptic post on social media platform X, offering clues about a potential POLY token. This post came shortly after Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the NYSE, committed to a $2 billion investment in Polymarket following a $9 billion post-money valuation.
In his post, Coplan used the terms “$BTC $ETH $BNB $SOL $POLY”, suggesting that the potential token could rank among the largest crypto assets in the market. This announcement fueled speculation about the POLY token among both investors and the broader crypto community.
Initial Signals from the CEO and Previous Activity
Polymarket’s CEO has previously made posts on social media accounts associated with , hinting that users could be rewarded with a token launch. For instance, following Donald Trump’s election in November 2024, Polymarket’s X account shared messages related to the platform’s future predictions.
Additionally, in September 2025, Polymarket’s parent company Blockratize submitted an SEC filing revealing “other warrants” during a recent funding round. This move, reminiscent of dYdX’s pre-launch strategy, further fueled speculation about a potential token launch.
Funding and Valuation Details
Coplan disclosed two previously unannounced funding rounds over the past two years. One of these rounds, led by Founders Fund in 2025, valued the company at $1.2 billion and raised $150 million. The deal with ICE allows for up to $2 billion in investment at a $9 billion post-money valuation, with the pre-investment valuation estimated at approximately $8 billion.
Since its launch in 2020, Polymarket has seen a cumulative trading volume of around $19 billion, highlighting the platform’s market impact and the scale of its user base.
