According to a report by PR Newswire, the prediction market platform Polymarket announced that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued a revised order allowing Polymarket to operate an intermediary trading platform, provided it complies with all applicable requirements of federal regulatory exchanges.

Once approved, Polymarket will be able to directly onboard brokerage firms and clients, facilitating trading in U.S. marketplaces. Currently, Polymarket is permitted to introduce an intermediary access model, allowing users to trade through futures commission merchants and utilize traditional market infrastructure, custody, and reporting channels.
