Polymarket received an Amended Order of Designation from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), clearing the way for the prediction-market platform to operate as a fully regulated U.S. platform.

The approval, granted Monday and announced Tuesday, allows Polymarket to offer intermediated access in the U.S., meaning bettors will be able to participate through futures commission merchants and traditional brokerage channels.

The designation brings Polymarket under the full regulatory framework applied to federally supervised exchanges, including enhanced surveillance, market-supervision standards, clearing procedures and Part 16 reporting obligations.

“People rely on Polymarket because we provide clarity where there is confusion,” founder and CEO Shayne Coplan said in a press release, adding that the decision reflects growing regulatory acceptance of prediction markets as a mature financial product.

The company said last month that it expected to open its doors in the U.S. in November after access was shut off to U.S. citizens in 2022.
