Polymarket receives green signal from CFTC for US return

September 3, 2025--The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Wednesday approved Polymarket,the world's largest prediction market,to relaunch in the country,more than three years after its exit.

The decision comes amid a debate in the financial sector,with some experts highlighting prediction markets as superior to traditional polls,while others argue that these markets are little more than "digital casinos".

Polymarket allows users to profit from predictions on a wide range of events,including sports,entertainment,politics and the economy. Trading in such event contracts has surged in popularity since the U.S. presidential election last year.
