Brief

Shayne Coplan celebrated Polymarket’s sixth anniversary (June 17, 2026), expressing gratitude and noting that information markets have gained mainstream traction but still face a long road. He shared a nostalgic thread pointing to Polymarket’s public beta announcement (tweet id 1272901366713901056), which launched USDC-based markets on Coronavirus, US politics, and crypto via poly.market.

Today is the 6 year anniversary of when I launched Polymarket.

I’m truly grateful to be able to work on something that means so much to me.

It’s been awe-inspiring to see the world catch up with this crazy idea called “information markets”. Yet there still remains a long ways to go

For those curious about my headspace when starting the company, this thread is a nostalgic artifact.
