Polymarket Secures CFTC Approval for U.S. Trading Access
Polymarket, a leading prediction markets platform, has received regulatory approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The Amended Order of Designation allows Polymarket to operate as a fully regulated U.S. exchange, enabling intermediated trading and direct onboarding of brokerages and customers.
The approval marks a significant step for U.S. market accessibility, requiring Polymarket to implement enhanced surveillance, clearing, and regulatory reporting. The platform's return to the U.S. under a compliant structure aligns with federal exchange obligations, facilitating traditional financial infrastructure for custody and reporting.
