A former Polymarket team member stated that the POLY token will not be launched in the short term and may require a long wait.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, in response to community user analysis suggesting that Polymarket might launch the POLY token in the fourth quarter of this year (or 2028), former Polymarket team member Greg responded that "the POLY token will not be launched in the short term; it may take a long time." Furthermore, Greg stated that Polymarket's early promotion of the token was purely a marketing tactic, but he has since deleted his tweet mentioning "marketing."
