Is Polymarket coming to the US? Current status explained

Short answer: Polymarket’s public site (polymarket.com) does not allow new orders from the United States today. Polymarket operates a separate, CFTC-regulated pathway that requires KYC for US users; there is no public date for broader availability. If you’re a trader in the US, this means you cannot open new positions via the public Polymarket site, and attempting VPN bypasses would violate Terms of Service.

Why the US is blocked on the public site

Polymarket geo-blocks new orders by IP for regulatory reasons. The public polymarket.com experience blocks US users from placing new trades; existing positions and settlement behavior are handled according to Polymarket’s usual smart-contract flow. Polymarket also runs a separate CFTC-regulated onramp for US customers, which enforces KYC/AML and a different compliance flow.

Is there a launch date for US users?

There is no public timeline provided for broader US access to the public site. Polymarket’s team has not announced a general reopening of the public platform in the US, and availability depends on regulatory approvals and internal product decisions. I’m not certain about any unreleased roadmap or timelines.

What US traders can do today

If you’re in the US and want exposure, your options are: use Polymarket’s CFTC-regulated pathway (if you complete KYC and meet requirements), or monitor official Polymarket channels for announcements. Do not use VPNs to bypass geo-blocking — that violates Terms of Service and can result in account action.

Does Polymarket require KYC for US users?
Yes. Polymarket’s CFTC-regulated pathway for US customers enforces KYC/AML. The public site does not accept new US orders without that pathway.
