Polymarket, a leading forecasting platform, has officially launched its mobile app for the United States market. Currently, the app is available only in a limited beta version for users who have joined the waitlist. Despite this early-stage rollout, the platform has already generated significant interest. This highlights the growing popularity of prediction markets in the U.S.
The iOS app is now live on the Apple Store. An Android version is expected to become available in the coming months. Thanks to the waitlist system, the app has already achieved strong download numbers. It has also received an impressive 4.9-star rating from over 29,000 user reviews. At launch, users can access forecasts for sporting events. The platform will add other major current events markets, such as political outcomes and economic trends, in future updates.
Polymarket has also experienced rapid growth following record activity in October. The platform expanded quickly after announcing its upcoming Initial Coin Offering (ICO), gaining widespread attention over the past month. During October alone, Polymarket added 400,000 new accounts. It continued its growth trajectory by adding another 377,000 accounts in the following weeks. Daily trading volumes have also remained strong, reaching $130 million. This reflects a consistent upward trend in user engagement and market activity.
Adding to its momentum, Polymarket recently received approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to resume operations in the country. This regulatory clearance enables the platform to directly connect brokerages, futures commission providers, and clients. Traders can now execute trades using traditional custody, infrastructure, and reporting channels. They no longer need to rely solely on Polymarket’s proprietary cryptocurrency systems.
With its newly launched app, strong user growth, and regulatory approval, Polymarket can now expand its offerings further. The platform’s innovative approach to prediction markets and its focus on accessibility should attract an even wider audience in the coming months. This will help cement its position as a leading player in the U.S. forecasting market.
