Chainlink is enabling Polymarket to launch a new 5-minute crypto market, allowing users to predict whether Bitcoin’s five-minute candles close up or down.
Polymarket trading volume reached $3.4B in January and $4.9B so far in 2026 as speculation on a $POLY token airdrop rises.
Chainlink has become a central part of Polymarket’s latest upgrade as the prediction platform launches new 5-minute crypto markets. The update arrives during a period of rapid growth for the protocol and coincides with increasing speculation about a future $POLY token. The shorter markets allow users to trade on whether Bitcoin’s five-minute candles will close up or down. Liquidity providers also receive market maker rebates as part of the product design.
Polymarket, which recently expanded to Solana, has continued to attract traders who prefer short settlement periods. The launch followed token speculation sparked by Polymarket’s trademark filing for the $POLY ticker.
