POLYMARKET SECURES CFTC APPROVAL FOR RETURN
Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter
Polymarket has received a CFTC Amended Order of Designation, enabling US users to trade through futures commission merchants and traditional brokerages under a full federal regulatory framework. The approval follows Polymarket's 2022 decision to block US access amid regulatory pressure. It reflects growing regulatory acceptance of prediction markets as a mature financial product and positions the platform alongside other federally supervised exchanges with intermediated access rather than direct retail participation. The company previously signaled November relaunch plans.
