On a positive trajectory over the last 24 hours and moving along with the general sentiment in the market, Polygon decentralize exchange (DEX) QuickSwap could boost its fundamentals. According to a recent , the project could split its native governance token QUICK.
Dubbed the “most important governance discussion to date” on the platform’s official social media channel, a fierce debate has taken place between Polygon users. This process is critical, and could precede a voting on the token split, depending on its result.
The main argument behind the proposal is supported by the potential expansion of the Polygon token, QUICK, supply. The project is currently planning changes on its tokenomics. A change in QUICK’s supply stands as the first and one of the most important.
If approve, the community will vote on possibly splitting the Polygon token on a 1:100 or 1:1,000 relation. The team behind QuickSwap clarified the following:
This would mean that for every 1 QUICK you now hold, you would hold 100 QUICK or 1000 QUICK after the split. QUICK’s maximum supply would increase from 1 million to 100 million or 1 billion.
The split would attempt to “open up” QuickSwap to new users, particularly those with intention to invest but that consider QUICK “too expensive” or with “small chances” of future appreciation. The proposal has managed to secure support from a portion of QUICK holders, others remain skeptical.
5/ One concern is that the split could be deemed a taxable event💸
💰We know how much dragons value their treasure & wouldn't want you to part with yours
🪙We aren't tax experts & can't give tax advice, but stock splits aren't taxable events & token splits shouldn't be either

QuickSwap’s Co-Founder Roc Zacharias the following on the potential implications of the token split on the DEX ecosystem, and its capacity to improve the platform’s components, such as its treasury:
If this split DOES work out like we think it might, it could strengthen the treasury (which is owned by all of you the community, it could increase reward value which can increase liquidity and indirectly volume etc, and most importantly, it can bring new users! Please think hard about this.
Polygon QuickSwap Token Split And The Polkadot Case
Many users, including the team behind the Polygon decentralize exchange platform, have compared this potential token split with the stock market. In the legacy financial system is “common” for companies to issue more stocks via a similar process addressing a concept called Unit Bias.
This idea indicates, as explained by the team behind QuickSwap, that an investors might be willing to own “more of a less scarce asset”. In the crypto industry, other projects have conducted token splits in the past often leading to price appreciation.
The team behind token swap mentioned Polkadot (DOT), as an example. Via their official Twitter handle, QuickSwap said:
(…) when Polkadot did a 1:100 redenomination, $DOT rose from a sub-100 market cap to the 7 position. More recently, Gains Network did a 1:1000 token split & migrated from GFARM2 to GNS. In dismal conditions, GNS did a 6x.
Remains to be seen if history will repeat itself with QUICK. However, Polygon, and second layer solution on Ethereum, seem to be attracting a lot of attention as they provide users with a cost efficient and more scalable gateway into the DeFi sector.
Today, published a piece analyzing 's price💰
Wallet Investor suggested that QUICK could be worth $7.95 at year end
That's eerily close to the $7.67 I calculated by averaging tokens
If QUICK did a 1:1000 token split & rose to $7.67, WWYD?

A literature major, Reynaldo Márquez has been deeply immersed in the crypto industry since 2017. His journey began with translating articles for various crypto news outlets, a role he took on with zeal. In 2018, amidst a challenging market, he embraced his first writing assignment, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the nascent industry and the promise of change it bears for many people worldwide.
In March 2021, he joined the prestigious crypto news outlet NewsBTC and Bitcoinist, where he not only reported on the latest crypto news but also had the privilege of interviewing some of the industry's most influential figures. A year later, his dedication and hard work were recognized, and he was promoted to Managing Editor, a position he currently holds with pride.
He believes in honesty, good communication, hard work, and the power of cryptocurrency and its potential to transform people's lives, especially those alienated by the legacy financial system. Born in 1992 in Venezuela, Reynaldo is familiar with how governments and central banks can negatively affect people, their everyday lives, and their futures by creating inflation and erasing their hopes for a better future. Thus, like many Venezuelans, he embraced this new technology to help him and his family navigate difficult times.
In another life, Reynaldo would have pursued a career as an investigator, most likely tracking down the origins of the Cyberpunk movement with the publication of William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer.’ The intersection between fiction and reality, with the materialization of Bitcoin in 2009, would have allowed him to dive deep into the crypto sphere as something more than a financial phenomenon but also a cultural shift in society that was brewing since the XX century, and maybe even sooner, in the XIX century with the publication of Henry David Thoreau’s ‘Civil Disobedience.’
But that’s for another life. In this one, Reynaldo has been trading to improve his trading skills. Since 2023, he has been trying to learn Python to create successful strategies and find ways to execute them. It is a difficult task, which continues to keep him busy today and will most likely continue to keep him busy in the near and long term.
In his free time, he enjoys lifting heavy objects, reading, watching movies, and listening to his favorite music. Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry.
Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.
