Polymarket's Marketing Director, Shane Koval, officially confirmed the company's plans to release the $POLY token in the first quarter of 2026. He stated this during an interview at the Crypto Expo in Dubai on October 24, 2025. The token will become the native asset of the platform specializing in prediction markets and, according to Koval, will allow users to participate in voting and receive a share of the profits from trading. Polymarket, which already processes $5 billion in turnover monthly, is preparing for listing on major exchanges such as Binance.
