Polymarket is preparing to reenter the US market, with regulatory approval the key hurdle.
Bloomberg reported on April 28 that the prediction-market platform is seeking to launch a formal exchange in the US, contingent on approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The move marks another attempt to enter the domestic market after Polymarket previously restricted US users because of regulatory issues.
Polymarket is a leading prediction-market platform where users trade on the outcomes of political and economic events. It has drawn increased attention amid growth in the sector.
