US federal investigators closed parallel criminal and civil probes into prediction market Polymarket<\/a>, issuing letters earlier this month that ended inquiries by both the Justice\u202fDepartment and the Commodity\u202fFutures\u202fTrading\u202fCommission (CFTC), as Bloomberg News reported.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The platform enables traders to bet on yes-or-no outcomes using stablecoins on Polygon<\/a> and has faced scrutiny since a January 2022 CFTC settlement required it to exclude US customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Investigators later examined whether American users continued to wager through virtual private networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Polymarket<\/span> processed roughly\u202f$2.6\u202fbillion in volume<\/a><\/strong> during November\u2019s US election season, drawing law\u2011enforcement attention as trading spiked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Regulatory reset<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Agents escalated the matter eight days after the November vote, raiding CEO Shayne\u202fCoplan\u2019s<\/a> SoHo apartment and seizing his phone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coplan denounced the search as an overreach tied to the outgoing Biden team\u2019s stance on digital asset companies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a July\u202f15 post on X<\/a>, Coplan<\/span> said<\/a><\/strong> the platform \u201ccooperated and engaged\u201d with authorities and \u201chas been cleared of any wrongdoing,\u201d adding that \u201cjustice prevailed.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The decision to close the probes aligns with a broader policy shift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Capitol Hill has labeled the current legislative push \u201cCrypto Week,\u201d<\/a> and Congress plans a House floor vote that could send the first comprehensive crypto bill to President Donald Trump for signature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the report, the White House has also tapped venture capital executive and former CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz to return and lead the derivatives regulator, signaling a friendlier approach to oversight for prediction markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Path to licensed US marketplace<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the investigations resolved, the report highlighted that Polymarket can now explore formal re-entry into the US.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Options include applying to operate as a designated contract market or acquiring an entity that already holds a CFTC license.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm has recently announced a partnership with X and xAI to deliver on-platform event forecasts, moves that could support expansion under a compliant framework.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Polymarket originally agreed to pay\u202f$1.4\u202fmillion and delist three markets to settle the 2022 CFTC action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Company engineers then installed geofencing tools, although regulators questioned whether US traders were still accessing its site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The closure letters indicate that investigators found no evidence of breaches of previous obligations, clearing a significant hurdle before any licensing application.<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, Polymarket\u2019s clearance removes immediate legal risk while lawmakers discuss new rules.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
