At fist, it might seem as though

> **Visual Note:** A news headline from the Markets & Finance/Banking section reads: "JPMorgan Ended Banking Relationship With Polymarket Over Regulatory Concerns," with a subheading noting the move comes amid questions about prediction markets and debanking. The image aligns with the accompanying post's claim that JPMorgan quietly cut ties with Polymarket at the end of 2025 over regulatory/legal issues, which is cited as a reason for the delay in launching a $POLY token.  

> 
> "No $POLY

"The token will come once we find U.S. partners and resolve the legal situation."

At the end of 2025, JPMorgan quietly terminated its services for Polymarket due to regulatory risks.

And nobody is telling the community about it.

It just happened, and everyone stayed"
