Polymarket Prepares U.S. Relaunch as Soon as November With Sports-First Rollout

The company is pursuing a regulated route via its QCX acquisition following a 2022 CFTC settlement.

Overview

  • Bloomberg reported the platform could restart U.S. trading next month with limited access focused on sports markets.
  • Polymarket shut off U.S. access in 2022 after paying $1.4 million to settle CFTC charges tied to operating an unregistered derivatives venue.
  • The firm acquired QCX, a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse, which provides a potential legal pathway for domestic operations.
  • One outlet reported that Polymarket received a CFTC no-action letter, a claim that has not been publicly confirmed by the parties.
  • Shares of DraftKings and Flutter fell after the relaunch reports as investors weighed fresh competition in U.S. sports betting.
