## What changed

Polymarket US submitted a September 11 class self-certification for dollar-settled contracts on cryptocurrency launches, targeting listing no earlier than September 15. The class builds on a MetaMask-launch contract and uses live token-price publication to determine qualifying launches. This is an exchange filing, not a Commission approval or evidence that trading has begun.

## Who it affects

- Advisers and commodity-interest professionals evaluating token-launch event exposure
- Clients with employment, ownership, or family connections to token issuers and launch-data providers

## What is still open

- Actual listing date and availability through client intermediaries
- Application of source substitutions and settlement-review discretion
- The filing-page September 10 date differs from the signed September 11 submission

## What it means for an advisor

- Review settlement-source discretion, full-loss exposure, and launch definitions before product approval.
- Screen relevant issuer, data-provider, exchange, ownership, and family relationships against trading restrictions.
- Explain that the contract provides event exposure and does not establish token ownership or validate the token's legal status.
