Polymarket Resumes U.S. Operations After CFTC Regulatory Approval

Polymarket has resumed operations in the United States following regulatory clearance from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The platform launched a phased rollout for waitlisted users, who can now access sports event contracts, with additional markets planned for future release. The approval follows a $1.4 million settlement in 2022 and the platform's $112 million acquisition of Florida-based derivatives exchange QCX in July 2025.
