Polymarket, a leading blockchain-based predictions platform, has officially opened its mobile application to waitlisted users in the United States. This rollout follows the company’s receipt of a critical regulatory green light from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), permitting the platform’s relaunch for domestic users. The initial phase grants select US participants access to a suite of event contracts, with a primary focus on sports-related prediction markets. This development marks a significant milestone for the decentralized information markets space, establishing a compliant framework for US engagement. The platform enables users to trade on the outcomes of real-world events, leveraging blockchain technology for transparency and settlement. The controlled, invitation-only launch allows Polymarket to manage scale and ensure operational integrity under its new regulatory standing. Industry observers view this as a pivotal step in bridging decentralized finance (DeFi) concepts with regulated financial markets, potentially setting a precedent for other prediction platforms seeking US market entry.
