Blockratize Files U.S. Trademarks for 'POLY' and '$POLY' Tokens
Blockratize's trademark filings signal further development of its $POLY token, including crypto trading software and digital token services.
Fact Check
The evidence provided strongly and consistently supports the statement. Multiple independent sources, including a high-authority crypto news publication (Decrypt) and several news outlets from crypto exchanges (Bitget, Phemex, MEXC), confirm that a trademark application was filed for a token associated with Polymarket. The majority of these sources explicitly state that Blockratize Inc., identified as Polymarket's parent company, is the entity that filed the application. Furthermore, the specific trademark is consistently reported as '$POLY' or 'POLY'. There are no contradictions in the evidence; any minor variations, such as naming Polymarket instead of Blockratize as the filer, are reconciled by other sources clarifying the corporate structure. The unanimity across sources of varying authority levels, including social media posts that appear to show a screenshot of the filing, provides a high degree of confidence in the statement's accuracy.
