Polymarket, the rapidly expanding crypto prediction platform, is set to introduce a “Pro” version tailored for professional traders.
On October 18, a trader from Polymarket known as Tsybka shared a Discord message from developer Mustafa Aljadery, who confirmed that the advanced platform will launch before year-end.

Is Polymarket Planning a ‘Pro’ Version?
The upcoming tier is anticipated to feature advanced analytics, quicker trade execution, and comprehensive data feeds—tools often utilized by institutional or high-volume traders.
By introducing these functionalities, Polymarket seeks to bridge the divide between casual users and professionals who require enhanced market insights and accuracy.
As of the latest update, the company hasn’t provided further specifics on the “Pro” version’s features.
This initiative marks a crucial advancement for Polymarket, which has experienced remarkable growth in 2024, significantly driven by its impressive forecasting accuracy.

The platform’s internal data indicates that its markets have been accurate approximately 95% of the time just hours before settlement, and over 91% even a month in advance.
According to Dune Analytics stats, this consistent accuracy has attracted more than 1.3 million unique users, and the platform has generated around $18.1 billion in total trading volume.
These figures imply that the crowd’s collective intelligence driving the platform often aligns closely with real-world outcomes.
POLY Token Airdrop Drives User Surge
In conjunction with the Pro development, Polymarket is igniting speculation regarding a potential airdrop of its native token.

Earlier this month, the platform’s CEO Shayne Coplan stoked speculation by mentioning POLY alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and Solana in a social media post.
Consequently, Polymarket’s daily active users surged from approximately 20,000 to nearly 58,000 as individuals aimed to qualify for a prospective airdrop.
This uptick in user activity is expected, especially since many Polymarket users have engaged in “farming” activities for over a year, waiting for a token distribution. Notably, some traders have artificially inflated their trading volumes by repeatedly buying and selling identical positions.

Meanwhile, Polymarket’s increasing activity is also linked to the emergence of new market categories.
Haseeb Qureshi, Managing Partner at Dragonfly Capital, observed that sports betting has become a significant growth promoter for Polymarket.
Qureshi pointed out that this trend often gives the platform more trading volume than its regulated competitor Kalshi on most days.
He noted that Kalshi has historically led through its Robinhood integration. However, Polymarket’s growing sports markets are now starting to attract that same traffic directly on-chain.
