As the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), announced on October 7 its plan to invest $2 billion in the prediction market platform Polymarket at a valuation of about $9 billion, just three days later, another prediction market giant, Kalshi, also announced the completion of a $300 million financing round, with a valuation reaching $5 billion. Meanwhile, Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan has previously reposted or liked posts about the platform possibly launching a token. This time, he listed a string of mainstream crypto asset symbols followed by the $POLY ticker on social media, which can be seen as an explicit hint at token issuance. This series of news has triggered FOMO sentiment among community members. As the news continues to ferment, the prediction market sector has once again become a hot topic of discussion.
