Polymarket Growth Accelerates Amid Rumored ‘Pro’ tier and POLY Token Plans

Polymarket, the fast-growing crypto prediction platform, is preparing to launch a “Pro” version aimed at professional traders.

On October 18, a Polymarket trader known as Tsybka shared a Discord message from developer Mustafa Aljadery. In the message, Aljadery confirmed that the advanced platform will debut before the end of the year.

Is Polymarket Planning a ‘Pro’ Version?

The new tier is expected to include advanced analytics, faster trade execution, and richer data feeds. These are tools typically used by institutional or high-volume participants.

By adding these features, Polymarket aims to bridge the gap between casual users and professionals who demand deeper market insight and precision.

As of press time, the company has yet to share additional details about plans for the “Pro” version.

Meanwhile, this move marks a pivotal step for Polymarket, which has seen explosive adoption in 2024. That growth has been anchored on its remarkable forecasting accuracy.

The platform’s internal figures show its markets have been correct roughly 95% of the time just hours before settlement, and over 91% even a month prior.

According to Dune Analytics data, this consistent precision has attracted more than 1.3 million unique users. The platform has also generated about $18.1 billion in total trading volume.

These metrics suggest that the crowd wisdom driving the platform often mirrors real-world outcomes with surprising consistency.

POLY Token Airdrop Drives User Surge

Amid the development of its Pro offering, Polymarket is also sparking speculation about a potential native token airdrop.

Earlier this month, the platform’s CEO Shayne Coplan fueled speculation after mentioning POLY alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and Solana in a social post.

As a result, Polymarket’s daily active users jumped from around 20,000 to nearly 58,000 as people sought to qualify for a potential airdrop.

This is unsurprising considering many Polymarket users have been “farming” activity for over a year in anticipation of a token distribution. Notably, some traders have inflated their trading volumes by repeatedly buying and selling the same positions.

Meanwhile, Polymarket’s rising activity is also tied to new market categories.

Haseeb Qureshi, Managing Partner at Dragonfly Capital, noted that sports betting has become a major growth driver for Polymarket.

Qureshi added that this surge often gives the platform more trading volume than its regulated rival Kalshi on most days.

He noted that Kalshi has traditionally dominated through its Robinhood integration. However, Polymarket’s expanding sports markets are now starting to draw that same traffic directly on-chain.
