Shayne Coplan, Founder of Polymarket

Shayne Coplan, founder of the prediction platform Polymarket, hinted at the potential issuance of a native token after being recognized by Bloomberg as the “youngest self-made billionaire.”

In a semi-mysterious post on his X account, Coplan mentioned the terms “BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, POLY,” suggesting that a POLY token could rise in market value alongside other major cryptocurrencies.

His post gained traction as XRP, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency, was recently delisted, possibly due to a technical difference in the Kaito data that Coplan referred to.

The Polymarket team has previously indicated plans to reward users through a token. Following Donald Trump’s election victory in November 2024, Polymarket’s official X account shared the message, “we predict future drops,” hinting at forthcoming developments.

In September 2025, Polymarket’s parent company, Blockratize, filed with the SEC, mentioning “other warrants” in its latest funding round. This move revived speculation about a token issuance, reminiscent of dYdX’s pre-launch strategy.
