Media: Polymarket returns to the US market

The Polymarket prediction platform has relaunched in the United States, albeit in beta mode. The project's founder, Shane Coplan, announced this at the Cantor Fitzgerald conference, according to Bloomberg. He noted that the American version of the platform is "up and running," providing access to event trading for a limited number of users. Polymarket is in the final stages of preparation for its official launch in the United States.

Regulatory Settlement

Polymarket's return to the market was made possible after successfully resolving a dispute with local regulators. The platform reached an agreement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in 2022, paying a $1.4 million fine. However, in 2024, law enforcement agencies began to take an interest in the platform.

The Department of Justice concluded its investigation into Polymarket in July 2025, after which the CFTC also withdrew its charges. Against this backdrop, Polymarket began its return to the US market by acquiring the licensed derivatives exchange QCX.

Investments and New Opportunities

In October, the project raised $2 billion from Intercontinental Exchange, the operator of the New York Stock Exchange. During the same period, Polymarket confirmed the issuance of a token under the ticker POLY and announced an airdrop. The platform is currently negotiating additional funding at a valuation of $12-15 billion.

Partnership with Yahoo

Polymarket has also entered into an exclusive partnership with Yahoo Finance. In the coming months, the financial information provider will add a prediction markets section, which will contain data on key economic, political, and market events.

"We are pleased to announce that Polymarket is now the exclusive prediction markets partner for Yahoo Finance," Polymarket representatives wrote on Twitter.

The platform also announced a partnership with fantasy sports betting app PrizePicks. In early November, Google announced the integration of Kalshi and Polymarket prediction markets into search results as part of the Google Finance update, adding an additional layer of visibility and accessibility to users.

In Conclusion

Polymarket's return to the US market opens new opportunities for both the platform itself and users interested in prediction markets. With partnerships with major players like Yahoo and Google, as well as significant investment, Polymarket is poised to carve out a niche in the rapidly evolving world of digital finance.
