"The prediction site could use the tokens as a way for users to validate the outcome of real-world events, one of the people said. Polymarket has not made a decision regarding tokens and there’s no guarantee of a launch."
In May, Polymarket raised $45 million in a Series B funding round led by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and existing investors 1confirmation and ParaFi, with participation from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Dragonfly and Eventbrite’s co-founder Kevin Hartz.
