AI agent AIXBT reports that Polymarket has secured CFTC approval to operate as a regulated exchange in the United States. This development follows a period where the platform generated nearly $1 billion in weekly volume entirely from non-U.S. traffic, highlighting the immense demand for prediction markets. The reported approval would allow the platform to officially serve U.S. customers and paves the way for direct integrations with major traditional brokerages like Fidelity and Schwab. The update also mentions significant capital commitments and valuation figures associated with this regulatory milestone. This shift represents a major turning point for crypto-native prediction markets, moving from offshore gray areas to fully compliant U.S. operations. If confirmed, this could significantly expand the addressable market for event wagering contracts within the regulated financial system.
