Are there other Polymarket users in the forum? I reckon that you might be very happy to know that it is beginning to be speculated that Polymarket might issue a token hehehehe.
He shared this in social media where he mentioned
$POLY.$BTC
$ETH
$BNB
$SOL
$POLYSource https://x.com/shayne_coplan/status/1975994093529690405?s=12There were also speculations that Polymarket was planning to change how the prediction markets in the network are governed and this requires their own token.
Polymarket's potential launch of the POLY token may mark the end of UMA’s reign over prediction markets and the beginning of an era where truth itself is governed in-house.
After years of outsourcing resolution to UMA’s 'optimistic' oracle, a system where anyone can propose an outcome by staking collateral and UMA token holders vote to settle disputes, an arrangement that recently produced multiple episodes of whale-led manipulation, the occasional contradiction from Polymarket itself, and community outrage, Polymarket might be building its own truth layer – a mechanism to resolve markets in-house.
Hypothetically, the token would likely sit beside the betting engine, not inside it: wagers in USDC, governance and curation in POLY. That separation could be the key to what UMA never solved: finding a way to make decentralized truth expensive to corrupt and fast enough to trust.Read in full https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2025/10/10/asia-morning-briefing-polymarket-s-poly-could-bring-oracle-s-home
