Polymarket Plans Token Launch, Eyes $15 Billion Valuation In New Funding Round - Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE)

Polymarket plans a U.S. app relaunch with a $112 million acquisition enabling regulated prediction markets and a POLY token airdrop for users, CMO confirmed.

  • On Thursday, Polymarket confirmed it will issue a native POLY token and airdrop part of it to users after its U.S. relaunch, CMO Matthew Modabber said on the Degenz Live podcast.
  • After acquiring QCX, a Commodity Futures Trading Commission -registered derivatives exchange, for $112 million earlier this year, Polymarket filed September 30 to list no earlier than October 2, 2025.
  • Market activity shows rapid growth across listings and user engagement as Polymarket and Kalshi hit a record $2 billion in trading volume during the week ending Oct. 19 and Polymarket listed 13,800 new markets in August, surpassing July by nearly 2,000.
  • Polymarket warned the launch isn't imminent, despite signals indicating the U.S. app could go live soon, and Matthew Modabber declined to reveal token mechanics.
  • After rapid valuation gains this month, Polymarket is in early talks to raise funding at a $12–15 billion valuation and secured a $2 billion investment from Intercontinental Exchange , with Milk Road calling it `the perfect storm of liquidity`.
