Polymarket To Buy Exchange To Facilitate US Return

According to a Bloomberg report, Polymarket has reached a deal with authorities to set up shop in the US again after nearly three years. The report notes that Polymarket is closing down on the acquisition of a derivatives exchange named QCX to facilitate its return to the country.

A formal announcement of the acquisition will reintroduce Polymarket to US residents, barring any regulatory stumbling block. Unnamed sources claim that Polymarket is lining up a $112 million bid to acquire QCX, but the exact status of the deal remains unclear.

The move comes barely a week after the CFTC and the US DOJ ended their probe against Polymarket. The little-known QCX applied for CFTC licensing back in 2022 but only clinched regulatory approval on July 9.

This is a developing story.
