Betting on Compliance: Polymarket Re-enters the U.S.
Polymarket received CFTC approval to operate fully as an exchange for U.S. retail users and brokerages via an Amended Order of Designation
> What this enables
• The approval permits Polymarket to introduce intermediated access, meaning users can trade through Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs) and leverage traditional market infrastructure for custody, reporting, and other brokerage services
• Polymarket will begin onboarding brokerages and customers directly and facilitate trading on U.S. venues
> Implications
• Re-entry into the U.S. market with an approved, intermediated model should increase institutional and retail access through regulated channels (brokerages/FCMs), improving custody and reporting practices
• The move signals a regulatory-compliant roadmap for prediction-market-style products to operate under U.S. federal oversight
