Overview
- Chief marketing officer Matthew Modabber said the platform will issue a POLY token and conduct an airdrop, with the rollout scheduled after the official U.S. return.
- The U.S. app is in invite-only testing as the QCX acquisition, CFTC registration, and recent filings and staff guidance set the groundwork for a compliant relaunch.
- Details on token design, distribution criteria, and timing remain unannounced, with the company emphasizing long-term utility rather than a rushed release.
- Intercontinental Exchange invested $2 billion this month, valuing Polymarket at about $9 billion, and Bloomberg reporting indicates discussions for new funding at a $12–15 billion valuation.
- Recent reporting shows rapid sector growth, with Polymarket and rival Kalshi posting roughly $1.4 billion and $2.9 billion in monthly volume respectively, while user speculation on activity-based airdrop eligibility remains unconfirmed.
