CFTC reportedly probing whether Polymarket violated 2022 U.S. access deal

Reuters, citing two people familiar with the matter, reports a renewed inquiry into whether Polymarket violated its 2022 pledge to bar U.S. users from its offshore platform. CNBC, citing a person familiar with the matter, says the CFTC is examining location controls and U.S. advertising. CNBC says the agency is also reviewing onboarding and protections on Polymarket’s U.S. platform. Reuters says an earlier inquiry closed in 2025 without charges.
