PolyMarket’s US Launch Prediction Sparks Debate

Select Language

According to Foresight News, the prediction that PolyMarket may launch its services in the United States by 2025 has ignited discussion. The terms of this prediction state that if PolyMarket begins trading with real money on a regulated contract market (DCM) by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on December 31, 2025, the outcome will be considered “yes”; otherwise, it will be “no.” Some community members oppose this prediction, arguing that PolyMarket’s US platform is limited and available only to invited or waitlisted users, rather than being fully launched to the general public. They contend that the “public” criterion is not met, as staff have indicated the platform is not yet fully operational and services for US users remain restricted under specific terms and conditions. Legal interpretations also suggest that an invite-only model cannot be regarded as a public launch. PolyMarket is a decentralized platform that enables users to place bets on various financial and political predictions, operating through cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Its goal is to provide users with enhanced market intelligence and promote financial activities through predictions. Securing full operational approval in the US could be a significant milestone, given that the American market is among the largest globally for crypto and digital assets. The prediction is currently under final review, with a decision expected by the end of 2025. Failure to achieve a full launch in the US would impact the prediction’s outcome, and legal and regulatory challenges may also hinder the project’s success.
