Overview
- Polymarket began live-testing a U.S. exchange with select users placing real-money trades, with reports pointing to a broader relaunch targeted for late November.
- PrizePicks announced a multi-year integration of Polymarket event contracts and said its new NFA FCM registration enables offering CFTC-permitted products via federally regulated exchanges.
- Polymarket said its market probabilities will be displayed exclusively on Yahoo Finance, and recent reports note Google Finance is also integrating prediction data from Polymarket and Kalshi.
- The company’s U.S. return follows its acquisition of QCEX, a CFTC-licensed exchange and clearinghouse, and an up to $2 billion investment commitment from Intercontinental Exchange.
- Regulatory tensions persist as states challenge event-contract products and operators face lawsuits, even as Polymarket’s relaunch reportedly rests on a CFTC no-action path and follows its 2022 $1.4 million CFTC settlement.
