Polymarket Relaunches U.S. Trading Platform in Beta Mode

Polymarket’s discreet beta relaunch in the United States marks its first domestic operation in nearly three years after regulatory resolution and offshore trading.

Fact Check
The assessment is based on a strong consensus among multiple high-authority sources. A report from Bloomberg Law, a highly credible financial and legal news outlet, explicitly states that Polymarket has reopened its exchange in the U.S. in beta mode. This is corroborated by several other news reports, which independently confirm the launch of a limited beta program for U.S. users. These sources are highly relevant and authoritative, directly supporting the statement.Conversely, the sources that do not support the statement are either irrelevant or have very low authority. Several sources mention the word 'beta' in contexts entirely unrelated to a platform launch, such as a user's handle or the rules of a specific prediction market about a video game. Another source is an unverified user comment, which holds little to no weight against official news reports. One article is noted as being outdated, reporting only on the *plan* to launch, which does not contradict the fact that the launch has since occurred. There is no credible evidence provided that contradicts the statement. Therefore, the weight of consistent, high-quality evidence makes the statement very likely to be true.
Summary

Polymarket has relaunched its decentralized prediction market in the U.S. in closed beta, operating quietly with access limited to select users after almost three years away from the domestic market. The move follows its regulatory settlement with the CFTC in 2022 and offshore operations during that period. The beta phase will evaluate the platform before a full reopening, continuing plans to expand services and eventually launch the POLY token.
