TLDR

  • Polymarket has launched its US app for waitlisted users after receiving CFTC approval, starting with sports betting markets
  • The iOS app is rolling out now with Android support coming soon, marking the platform’s return after a 2022 regulatory ban
  • Polymarket previously paid a $1.4 million settlement to the CFTC for offering unregistered event-based derivatives
  • The platform plans to expand beyond sports into proposition and election markets after the initial sports launch
  • Rival platform Kalshi recently raised $1 billion at an $11 billion valuation, while Polymarket could reach $10-15 billion

Polymarket has begun rolling out its mobile app to US users after receiving clearance from federal regulators. The prediction platform announced on Wednesday that waitlisted users can now access sports betting markets through its iOS app.

The launch marks Polymarket’s return to the US market after a three-year absence. In 2022, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission barred the platform from operating in the United States.

The CFTC found that Polymarket had been offering unregistered event-based derivatives to US customers. The company paid a $1.4 million settlement and agreed to stop serving American users.

Polymarket obtained a no-action letter from the CFTC in September 2024. This letter cleared the way for the platform to relaunch its US operations under federal oversight.

The company acquired a crypto derivatives exchange and clearinghouse to meet regulatory requirements. Polymarket now operates as an intermediated exchange under US federal rules.

iOS App Rolls Out First

The iOS app is currently available to users who joined the waitlist. Polymarket plans to release an Android version in the near future.

The app initially focuses on sports betting markets. Users can place bets on major games and tournaments using real money.

Polymarket says it will expand into proposition markets and election betting after the sports launch. The company described its roadmap as “markets on everything” in its announcement.

Competition Heats Up

The launch comes as prediction markets gain traction in the United States. Rival platform Kalshi recently closed a $1 billion funding round at an $11 billion valuation.

Polymarket’s full reopening could value the company between $10 billion and $15 billion. Reports suggest new investment could push the valuation higher.

Trading volume on both platforms surged in 2024. Interest in election-related betting drove much of the growth during the presidential campaign season.

October data from Token Terminal shows Kalshi processed $4.4 billion in trading volume. Polymarket handled just over $3 billion during the same period.

Coinbase is reportedly developing a prediction market platform backed by Kalshi. Truth Social, the platform co-founded by President Donald Trump, also announced plans to enable prediction markets.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight

The post One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew returns to the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts, showing continued demand for his timeless music. Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew Returns Sinatra’s The World We Knew is a top performer again, if only on the jazz lists. That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame. The World We Knew’s All-Time Highs The World We Knew returns close to its all-time peak on both of those rosters. Sinatra’s classic has peaked at No. 11 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart, just missing out on becoming another top 10 for the crooner. The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
