Polymarket opens US app to waitlisted users after CFTC green light
Select users in the US will be among the first to access the predictions platform to bet on sports event contracts, following clearance from a financial regulator for a relaunch.
Prediction platform Polymarket has begun rolling out its relaunch in the United States, announcing that waitlisted users would be the first to access its US app.
In a Wednesday X post, Polymarket said that it would be making its US app available to waitlisted users, beginning with bets on sports event contracts, “followed by markets on everything.”
The official launch came about three months after the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a no-action letter to a crypto derivatives exchange and clearinghouse acquired by Polymarket, laying the groundwork for the launch of its US services.
