Polymarket Cleared For Regulated U.S. Return Under CFTC Approval

Prediction-market platform Polymarket has secured approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to return as a fully regulated platform. The Amended Order of Designation allows Polymarket to offer intermediated access in the United States through futures commission merchants and traditional brokerage channels, integrating it into the same regulatory framework used by federally supervised exchanges.

Under the approval, Polymarket will adhere to strict requirements, including enhanced surveillance, market-supervision controls, clearing procedures and Part 16 reporting obligations. Founder Shayne Coplan said the decision reflects growing trust in prediction markets as transparent financial tools that help users find clarity.

Polymarket had previously restricted access to U.S. residents following regulatory actions in 2022. The company stated last month that it expected to reopen U.S. access in November, a timeline now reinforced by the CFTC’s formal designation.
