Polymarket Returns to the United States with Beta Exchange Launch
Prediction market platform Polymarket is making a cautious return to the US market this week with a limited beta version of its exchange. A select group of verified users can now trade on real-world outcomes, marking the company's first operational foothold in America since its 2022 CFTC settlement.
The platform operates as a peer-to-peer prediction market, offering insights that often outperform traditional polls. Its unique value proposition lies at the intersection of cryptocurrency, sports, and financial markets, with plans to introduce a native POLY token and strategic partnerships.
This reentry follows Polymarket's acquisition of regulated derivatives platform QCX, which provides necessary compliance infrastructure. The beta phase focuses on political and sports markets, serving as a stress test before broader rollout later this month.
