The leading blockchain-based predictions market platform Polymarket is reportedly considering raising $50M in fresh funding and a potential token launch.
According to the report, the investors will be given a token warrant in this round, entitling them with the right to purchase tokens in case Polymarket decides to launch one.
The latest funding comes in hot following the massive success recorded in the recent months on the Polymarket platform.
Earlier before now, the top on-chain predictions platform secured $25M in a Series A round led by General Catalyst. Later, it secured an additional $45M in a Series B funding round, in which Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was involved.
