A New “Heavyweight” Altcoin Seems to Be Coming to Market – Founder Revealed

Shayne Coplan, founder of prediction platform Polymarket, hinted that a native token could be issued for the platform after being featured by Bloomberg as the “youngest self-made billionaire.”

In a semi-mysterious post on his X account, Coplan used the phrases “BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, POLY,” referring to the possibility that a POLY token could become one of the largest crypto assets in terms of market value.

The Polymarket CEO’s post drew attention because XRP, currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency in free circulation, was delisted. This may be due to a technical difference in the Kaito data Coplan reposted.

The Polymarket team has previously hinted that they were planning a token that would reward its users. Following Donald Trump’s election victory in November 2024, Polymarket’s official X account briefly shared the message “we predict future drops.”

Additionally, in September 2025, Polymarket’s parent company, Blockratize, filed an SEC filing mentioning “other warrants” in its latest funding round. This move echoed dYdX’s pre-launch strategy, reigniting rumors of a token issuance.
