Polymarket, the online prediction‑market platform, is once again under scrutiny by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The federal agency has launched a renewed probe into whether the company permits U.S. users to access its offshore platform.
The CFTC had previously investigated Polymarket in 2024, focusing on the same issue of U.S. user access to the platform’s offshore services. Those initial measures were dropped in July 2025, after the agency concluded its review.
Under the renewed investigation, the CFTC will re‑examine the platform’s compliance with U.S. regulatory requirements that govern derivative trading and cross‑border market access.
Polymarket has not issued a public statement regarding the new inquiry. The outcome of the investigation could affect the company’s ability to operate in the United States and its relationships with offshore users.
