Why Polymarket is banned in US?

4M. Settlement required Polymarket to block US customers.

CFTC said Polymarket ran unregistered derivatives platform. The platform operated offshore from 2022-2025. This changed in December 2025 when Polymarket acquired QCEX and received CFTC clearance to operate legally in the US.

Some states still have pending lawsuits.
