Polymarket’s Legal Challenges Resolved As DOJ Closes Investigation

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have concluded their investigations into crypto-betting platform Polymarket. 

This decision comes as the Trump administration seeks to revitalize support for the digital asset industry, marking a notable pivot from the regulatory approach taken during President Biden’s tenure.

FBI Probes Into Polymarket Ends

According to a Bloomberg report, Polymarket received formal notification earlier this month that the probes had been terminated. These investigations had ramped up during the final days of the Biden administration, focusing on whether the platform was allowing US-based users to place bets in violation of a previous settlement with federal regulators.

The platform gained significant traction during the 2022 midterm elections, attracting users eager to wager on various political outcomes. The investigations took a dramatic turn following the November elections, culminating in a pre-dawn raid by FBI agents at the Soho penthouse of Shayne Coplan, Polymarket’s CEO. 

Coplan described the FBI’s actions as a “last-ditch effort” to target firms associated with President Biden’s political challengers. His social media posts reflected the broader sentiment within the crypto community, which perceived Trump as a supportive figure who would ease the regulatory burden on digital asset firms.

As the Biden administration’s stance on crypto firms has come under scrutiny, Washington is currently celebrating what’s being termed “Crypto Week,” a time when Congress is poised to pass significant legislation aimed at regulating digital assets. 

This legislative momentum led by President Trump’s efforts, has already had a positive impact on the cryptocurrency market, driving Bitcoin (BTC) to new record highs beyond the $123,000.

Potential Futures Exchange Registration

Per the report, the resolution of the investigations into Polymarket could open doors for the platform to re-enter the US market more formally. Bloomberg reports that there is potential for the betting platform to register with the CFTC as a futures exchange or to partner with an existing entity that holds a CFTC license. 

The platform had previously faced scrutiny for its trading practices, especially after a January 2022 settlement with the CFTC, which required it to prevent US traders from accessing its services.

Furthermore, Brian Quintenz, an executive at a16z, the venture capital firm focused on digital assets, has been nominated to lead the CFTC. Quintenz’s background includes serving on the board of Kalshi, a rival to Polymarket, which adds another layer of interest as the regulatory landscape evolves.

Polymarket has been actively preparing for its future, securing investment from Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and recently announcing a partnership with Elon Musk’s X and xAI to provide event forecasts on the social media platform. 

These moves indicate that Polymarket is positioning itself for a resurgence in the US market, potentially reshaping the intersection of digital assets and prediction markets.
