Polymarket founder and CEO Shayne Coplan announced on Tuesday that the prediction market platform has received approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for intermediated trading in the U.S.
Polymarket Can Be Traded Through Brokerages
In an X post, Coplan revealed that the latest approval allows customers to trade Polymarket contracts through brokerages and futures commission merchants, clearing its way to operate as a fully regulated exchange.
Coplan called it a “key milestone” toward permeating the U.S. financial system.
He also praised the CFTC, with special thanks to Acting Chair Caroline D. Pham.
“This admin and commission are built different. The pace, thorough feedback on applications, working through weekends – unprecedented,” Coplan said. “Quiet before the storm.”
