BlockBeats News, December 4th: Polymarket launches the U.S. version of its app, officially re-entering the U.S. market, allowing U.S. residents to trade on Polymarket for the first time. Eligibility is gradually extending to waitlisted users, starting with the sports section and later introducing prediction markets covering all sections.
Previously, on November 13th, Polymarket quietly re-entered the U.S. in Beta mode. In 2022, Polymarket faced enforcement action from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), forcing the company to move overseas and resulting in a $1.4 million fine. In July 2025, Polymarket acquired the licensed derivatives trading platform and clearinghouse QCX, laying the regulatory groundwork for its return to the U.S.
