According to a report by FT, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched an investigation into the prediction market platform Polymarket in recent weeks. The investigation is still ongoing, but the specific focus remains unclear. The report states that Polymarket was allowed to resume limited operations in the U.S. last year, and this investigation adds new regulatory pressure on the platform. With the rapid growth of prediction markets, multiple U.S. states and consumer protection organizations are calling for stronger regulation. More than a dozen states have taken legal action against Polymarket and Kalshi, accusing them of operating illegal sports betting businesses.
