The post ignited speculation that the leading prediction market platform will soon launch its own token.<\/p>\n<p>However, sources familiar with the matter <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/343857\/polymarket-launching-poly-token-but-not-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">told<\/a> Decrypt that the token debut isn\u2019t happening anytime soon. Polymarket reportedly plans to release it only after fully reestablishing its presence in the U.S. market, which it was forced to exit in 2022 following regulatory action by the CFTC. <\/p>\n<p>That comeback appears to be well underway. Earlier this year, Polymarket acquired the CFTC-regulated exchange QCX, and the agency has since issued a no-action letter, effectively clearing the path for Polymarket\u2019s return to American users. Through QCX, the company recently self-certified its first regulated prediction markets for sports and elections, gaining approval to operate in the U.S. as early as October.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Polymarket has not officially commented on the details of the token or its potential utility. However, the company had previously hinted that may be designed for \u201crewards and drops\u201d\u00a0for loyal users of the platform.<\/p>\n<p>The anticipated token debut comes on the heels of a major $2 billion investment in Polymarket from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. That deal, announced earlier this month, valued Polymarket at $9 billion. <\/p>\n<p>The partnership with ICE opens the door for Polymarket\u2019s market data to be distributed to financial institutions worldwide, integrating its prediction insights into more traditional finance channels.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polymarket is reportedly preparing to launch its own native token, but sources say that the rollout won\u2019t happen until the prediction market platform fully reestablishes itself in the U.S. following&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9742,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13760"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13761,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13760\/revisions\/13761"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
