Frequently Asked Questions
Is Polymarket legal in the US?
As of June 2026, yes. After a 2022 CFTC settlement that barred U.S. users, Polymarket acquired the CFTC-licensed QCEX exchange and clearinghouse and, under a November 2025 CFTC amended order of designation, relaunched a federally regulated U.S. platform that began onboarding American users in December 2025.
Is Polymarket CFTC-regulated?
Yes, as of late 2025. Polymarket runs its U.S. platform through QCEX (operating as QCX), a CFTC-designated contract market and clearinghouse it acquired in 2025. Its longstanding global crypto platform operates separately, outside that U.S.-regulated entity.
How does Polymarket pay out?
Positions settle in USDC stablecoin: winning shares resolve at $1, losing shares at $0, and balances can be withdrawn, provided the market resolves under its stated criteria.
How is Polymarket different from Kalshi?
Both are prediction markets, but Kalshi has run as a CFTC-regulated U.S. exchange since 2021, while Polymarket grew as a global crypto-native venue and only returned to the regulated U.S. market in late 2025 via QCEX. Polymarket settles in crypto (USDC); Kalshi uses U.S.-dollar accounts.
What regulatory issues has Polymarket faced?
It settled with the CFTC in 2022 for running an unregistered platform and barred U.S. users; it has since pursued a compliant U.S. re-entry through the CFTC-regulated QCEX. State-level questions and contract-specific reviews remain active, and Prediction News tracks them.
