Polymarket Gains CFTC Approval for Intermediated Trading in US Markets
Prediction market platform Polymarket has secured an amended order from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, clearing regulatory hurdles to operate as a fully regulated exchange. The designation allows Polymarket to integrate with traditional financial infrastructure through futures commission merchants and brokerages.
The MOVE signals growing institutional acceptance of prediction markets. "We've received CFTC approval for intermediation," Polymarket announced on social media, noting the platform will soon be accessible through registered brokers and financial institutions.
This regulatory milestone positions Polymarket alongside established derivatives venues, potentially increasing liquidity and participation. The platform now operates under the same framework governing conventional U.S. trading markets, marking a significant step toward mainstream adoption.
