Polymarket Acquires Exchange to Re-Enter the U.S. Market
Polymarket founder and CEO Shayne Coplan announced that demand for prediction markets is growing, and acquiring QCEX “will allow Americans to trade on a regulated prediction market platform.”
QCEX holds a CFTC license for derivatives trading, resolving regulatory issues that restricted Polymarket in 2022 when the platform paid a $1.4 million fine for operating without registration.
“Polymarket is the largest prediction platform in the world, synonymous with understanding event probabilities. Demand is at an all-time high — not only in user growth and trading volume, but also in how people turn to Polymarket to separate facts from noise, bias, and speculation,” Coplan said.
Forbes previously reported that Polymarket raised $70 million in investments in 2024 and recorded over $3.2 billion in trading volume.
Earlier last week, Bloomberg reported that the U.S. Department of Justice officially closed its investigation into Polymarket, with no financial or legal consequences for the company.
