Prediction Platform Polymarket Buys QCEX Exchange in 2 Million Deal to Reenter the U.S.
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LInkedIn


Polymarket has acquired the parent company of QCEX, a
CFTC-licensed exchange and clearinghouse, in a $112 million deal that paves the
way for the crypto prediction market’s return to the United States.

The acquisition gives Polymarket access to U.S.
markets through QCX, LLC and QC Clearing LLC, which hold licenses from the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

The move follows the end of a federal
investigation into Polymarket’s prior operations, clearing a path for the
company to resume service to American users within a regulated framework.

Previous Settlement and Easing Regulations

Polymarket previously agreed in 2022 to block U.S.
users after settling with the CFTC over operating an unregistered market.
Authorities later began investigating whether the firm had fully enforced that
restriction.

The Justice Department and the CFTC reportedly led the
probe, which included a search of CEO Shayne Coplan’s residence in New York. According to the company, the investigation has now been dropped. QCEX reportedly received CFTC approval to operate as a
derivatives exchange and clearinghouse on July 9, after a multi-year
application process.

“Polymarket is the largest prediction market globally
and has become synonymous with understanding the probability of current events,” commented
Shayne Coplan, Founder and CEO of Polymarket.

“Demand is greater than ever, not just in user growth
and trading volume, but in how mainstream audiences are turning to Polymarket
to separate signal from noise, bias, and speculation.”

Polymarket allows users to trade on the outcomes of
real-world events using cryptocurrency. Topics range from politics and
elections to sports and international affairs. The platform drew increased
attention during the 2024 U.S. election cycle and has seen growing adoption in
2025.

The company said users placed about $6 billion in
predictions on the platform during the first half of the year. Polymarket also
announced a recent partnership with social media platform X.

Next Steps Unclear, But Platform Eyes U.S. Relaunch

Polymarket has not announced a timeline for when U.S.
users will regain access to the platform, but the QCEX acquisition gives it a
legal structure to do so. The move comes amid a broader trend of crypto firms
seeking regulatory clarity by acquiring or building within licensed frameworks.

Recent reports suggested Polymarket was in talks
to raise up to $200 million at a $1 billion valuation. Polymarket’s return to
the U.S. could further legitimize prediction markets, which remain lightly
regulated in most jurisdictions.

Last year, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided the home of Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan, seizing his phone, according to a report by the New York Post. The Department of Justice reportedly investigated Polymarket over allegations that the platform enabled U.S. users to place bets on real-world events.
