Catenaa, Saturday, November 29, 2025- Prediction market platform Polymarket has received an Amended Order of Designation from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, allowing it to operate as a fully regulated exchange in the United States.
The order enables Polymarket to offer intermediated access, allowing users to trade through futures commission merchants and brokerages, integrating the platform into traditional US market infrastructure.
The move is expected to attract institutional participation and increase market liquidity.
Polymarket said it has upgraded its regulatory, supervisory, and operational systems to meet the requirements of a Designated Contract Market.
Enhancements include market surveillance, clearing protocols, and compliance reporting, all aimed at ensuring consumer protection and market integrity.
The platform will implement additional rules for intermediated trading prior to its US relaunch. These measures are designed to strengthen internal controls and standardize operations for all markets listed on Polymarket.
Polymarket is also in discussions with Galaxy Digital to provide liquidity on its platform.
Galaxy’s involvement would include acting as a market maker, posting bids and offers to deepen trading on real-world event prediction markets.
Polymarket secured CFTC approval to operate as a regulated US exchange, enabling intermediated trading through brokers and opening the platform to institutional participation.
