Polymarket’s U.S. platform has hit more than $750 million in Cumulative Notional Volume and processed over 5 million transactions.
The CFTC-compliant platform, relaunched through the QCEX acquisition, drives strong U.S. adoption for event-based trading on politics, crypto, sports, and geopolitics via transparent on-chain settlements.
Polymarket US Hits $761 Million Cumulative Notional Volume
Polymarket US, run by QCX LLC as a CFTC-designated contract market, has $761.59 million in Cumulative Notional Volume with transactions surpassing 5 million. Yesterday also saw the highest number of unique tickers traded on the app, about 524. Open interest currently stands at $1.42M, down from a peak of $2.6M.
Polymarket was barred from U.S. users following a 2022 CFTC settlement. In 2025, it acquired regulated entity QCEX for $112M, securing approval for a beta relaunch later that year. Full U.S. rollout accelerated into early 2026, with pent-up demand from American bettors driving rapid adoption once access reopened.
In October 2025, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, announced a strategic investment of up to $2 billion in Polymarket, giving the platform strong institutional backing and market credibility.
This influx of capital, combined with clear regulatory approval following the QCEX acquisition, directly fueled the surge in trading volume and user adoption observed in early 2026 across politics, crypto, sports, and geopolitics markets.
What’s Next for Regulated Prediction Markets?
Looking ahead, prediction markets are forecasted to generate up to $10 billion in annual revenue by 2030, according to analysts at Citizens Financial Group, driven by escalating trading volumes, enhanced infrastructure, and growing institutional participation.
Polymarket’s US aims to expand its presence in emerging markets while competing with Kalshi for US dominance by enhancing liquidity and user features.
