Crypto prediction platform Polymarket has officially begun its return to the United States, marking a major shift in the fast-expanding event-prediction industry.
The move follows a long regulatory battle and rising competition from rivals like Kalshi, as prediction markets attract record user activity and investor capital.
US launch begins with waitlisted users In an announcement on X, Polymarket said its U.S. app is now being rolled out to users who joined its waitlist, giving them first access to the relaunched platform.
The initial version includes sports prediction markets, with everything market, including politics, crypto, tech, and global events, set to follow.
The phased launch comes shortly after the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a no-action letter to the crypto derivatives exchange and clearinghouse Polymarket recently acquired.
The ruling effectively allowed Polymarket to operate an intermediated, regulated trading platform in the U.S., clearing the way for its return.
