Polymarket celebrates its return to the US

Crypto betting provider Polymarket is making a comeback in the US. After a two-year hiatus, the decentralized prediction platform is back “live and operational” in a closed beta, according to a Bloomberg report. Founder Shayne Coplan announced the final launch in the coming weeks.
The soft launch follows a settlement with the US financial regulator CFTC, which fined Polymarket $1.4 million in 2022 for unauthorized derivatives trading. The company's acquisition of the licensed derivatives exchange QCX in July 2025 provided the regulatory framework for its return.
In parallel, Polymarket is expanding strategically: As the exclusive partner of Yahoo Finance, the platform will in future provide real-time data on political and economic prediction markets.
The integration is expected to reach millions of users, according to the company. With 150 million monthly visitors, Yahoo Finance is one of the world's largest financial portals.
Furthermore, Google Finance is already working on integrating Polymarket and Kalshi. This is increasingly establishing the industry as part of the mainstream – and bringing prediction markets closer to traditional financial applications.
The return to US law is also likely to accelerate the planned launch of the native token POLY. Market observers expect an airdrop campaign that will attract new traders.
