According to CoinMarketCap, the CFTC has approved Polymarket to operate as a fully regulated US exchange, enabling intermediated access via futures commission merchants and traditional brokerage channels, source: CoinMarketCap on X, November 25, 2025. The source does not disclose launch timing, product scope, or specific integration partners, so traders should monitor Polymarket and FCM announcements for go-live details and potential routing through registered brokers, source: CoinMarketCap on X, November 25, 2025.

According to the source, Polymarket has received approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to return to the U.S. market (source: CFTC approval as reported by the source). According to the source, the decision restores compliant access for U.S.-based users to on-chain prediction markets, reducing regulatory uncertainty for traders (source: CFTC approval as reported by the source).

According to Altcoin Daily, the U.S. CFTC has approved the prediction market platform Polymarket, with the claim posted on X on Nov 25, 2025 (source: Altcoin Daily on X). According to Polymarket’s official X account, the team also announced the approval the same day but did not disclose product scope, licensing category, or registration specifics (source: Polymarket on X). According to the CFTC’s January 2022 order, Polymarket previously settled charges and restricted U.S. access, making this claimed approval a material regulatory shift for on-chain markets to monitor (source: CFTC order, Jan 2022). According to the Altcoin Daily and Polymarket posts, no token ticker, listing details, or trading pairs were mentioned, so traders should await formal CFTC documentation and platform disclosures before positioning (sources: Altcoin Daily on X; Polymarket on X).

According to @WatcherGuru, Polymarket has secured CFTC approval to operate fully as an exchange for US retail users and brokerages (source: @WatcherGuru). For traders, the report implies heightened order flow and liquidity in on-chain prediction markets, making Polygon’s MATIC/POL, ETH gas metrics, and USDC transfer volumes key indicators to monitor for volume expansion and price impact (source: @WatcherGuru). Traders should seek the official CFTC or Polymarket notice to confirm operational scope, timelines, and product limitations before positioning (source: @WatcherGuru).

According to @rovercrc, the CFTC has given Polymarket approval to go live in the United States, as stated in a post on X dated September 3, 2025, which does not include an official CFTC order or press release link for independent verification, making confirmation pending at this time, source: @rovercrc on X, 2025-09-03. Polymarket previously settled CFTC charges in January 2022, paid a $1.4 million civil monetary penalty, and restricted access for U.S. users, establishing that formal CFTC actions dictate the platform’s U.S. market permissions, source: CFTC press release PR 8485-22, 2022-01-03. Trading impact will depend on the exact terms of any official CFTC action, including which event contracts are permitted, KYC and AML requirements, and geographic eligibility, none of which are specified in the cited post, source: CFTC regulatory framework and @rovercrc on X, 2025-09-03. Polymarket transactions are settled in USDC on Polygon, so any verified expansion of U.S. accessibility would affect on-chain volume, gas usage, and USDC liquidity on that network, but such effects should only be considered after an official CFTC release or Polymarket announcement is published, source: Polymarket platform documentation and prior platform operations; CFTC.gov official releases.
