- 03:41Polymarket quietly relaunches US trading platform in Beta modeChainCatcher News, according to Bloomberg, the decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket has quietly relaunched in the United States in Beta mode. Founder Shayne Coplan reportedly stated at Cantor Fitzgerald's crypto conference that the US platform is "live and running," allowing selected users to place bets on real contracts. It is reported that the platform is in the final stage before officially opening in the US. This soft relaunch marks a milestone for Polymarket after resolving an enforcement case with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in 2022, which forced the company to move overseas and resulted in a $1.4 million fine. In July 2025, Polymarket acquired the licensed derivatives exchange and clearinghouse QCX, laying a regulatory foundation for its return to the US. After moving overseas, Polymarket achieved significant growth, especially during last year's US presidential election. Last month, the platform set records for monthly trading volume, active traders, and the number of newly listed markets. However, its licensed US competitor Kalshi surpassed it in trading volume in October. After a full relaunch in the US, the platform is expected to launch its native cryptocurrency POLY, as confirmed by Polymarket Chief Marketing Officer Matthew Modabber. This news has attracted more traders to participate in its prediction markets, as they hope to meet undisclosed airdrop eligibility requirements. As the prediction market sector gradually matures and becomes a legitimate fusion of information and finance, Polymarket has significantly expanded its influence by adding major new partners.
