Polymarket Set To Go Live In The US Following CFTC Approval, Says CEO

Following legal setbacks that limited access for American investors back in 2022, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) officially approved Polymarket’s launch as a crypto-based prediction market in the United States. 

Polymarket To Enter US Market 

Shayne Coplan, Polymarket’s CEO, shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the prediction platform has been given the green light to launch in the US. He credited the regulatory agency and its staff for accomplishing the process in “record time.” 

The CFTC’s decision comes alongside a no-action position taken by its Division of Market Oversight and the Division of Clearing and Risk. This position responds to a request from QCX LLC, a designated contract market, and QC Clearing LLC, a derivatives clearing organization. 

The CFTC indicated that it will not pursue enforcement actions against either entity or their participants for failing to adhere to certain swap-related recordkeeping requirements or for not reporting data associated with binary option transactions and variable payout contracts executed under QCX LLC’s rules. 

Regulatory Concerns Remain For Coplan

Despite this progress, concerns remain regarding Polymarket’s engagement with US users. Last November, FBI agents conducted a raid on Coplan’s Manhattan penthouse during a politically charged period around the presidential election—a time when Polymarket users were actively placing bets on potential outcomes. 

In addition, last week, before the CFTC’s announcement, 1789 Capital, a venture capital fund that recently welcomed Donald Trump Jr. as a partner, made a significant investment in Polymarket. 

These developments highlight the new regulatory dawn in the US for digital assets and firms like Polymarket under President Donald Trump’s administration, characterized by its support toward the crypto sector, including the passage of key bills for new regulatory frameworks.

Fed rate decision September 2025

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
